Despite the economic problems in the 1990s, most Swedes now enjoy a high standard of living. Industry is modern and efficient and the economy is strong. Modern Sweden is an active part of the European Community. It is a multi-racial country and is rapidly becoming a multicultural one. The challenge that Swedes now face is how to maintain their identity in today's rapidly changing world. Meet the people of Sweden and learn about the diversity of their lives, from a Sami reindeer farmer in Kiruna to an ice hockey player from Leksand. This book includes maps and graphic panels showing statistics and fact boxes about size, flag, population, religion, currency and language.
