Methodology
## What this measures
People aged 65 and over as a share of the population of Sweden, one value per year.
## Why it matters
An older population changes demand, savings, pensions and health spending, and slows labour-force growth.
## How to read it
Higher means an older population. Above about 14% is often called "aged", above 21% "super-aged".
## What it does not say
Says nothing about health or work at older ages. Recent years are UN estimates.
