💨 Abstract

Sweden's right-wing government granted the lowest number of residence permits to asylum seekers in 2024, a record low since 1985. This is part of the government's ongoing effort to decrease immigration, a promise made during the 2022 election. The policies have been criticized by human rights groups who argue they falsely blame immigrants for Sweden's problems and risk eroding civil rights.
