Abstract:
|
One of Europe's most important nations, Sweden, has established a solid
reputation as a welfare state. A member of the European Union since 1995, Sweden
has not shown much interest in joining Europe's single currency zone. The scale
of the victory of the "No" side in the euro referendum in September 2003
implies that Sweden will not join the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union
in the foreseeable future. The government has indicated that another referendum
is unlikely to occur before 2010. Due to the changing demographic profile, the
increasing pension burden and little scope to increase taxes, the Swedish model
will continue to be under stress.
