Sweden

Sweden has been assessed with a WokeMeter score of 76, reflecting its very high policy signalling intensity, which places the country at the second position globally. This score aligns closely with its current composite score of 76.00, supported by Sweden's robust legislative framework and strong cultural emphasis on progressive values. Key contributors to this high score include Sweden's notable climate activism, highlighted by the global influence of figures like Greta Thunberg and the origin of the Fridays for Future movement. Moreover, Sweden's progressive education policies, including the use of gender-neutral pronouns and strong LGBTQIA+ rights, further elevate its signalling intensity. This assessment considers the absence of recent major event changes, maintaining its consistent policy approach.

In examining the dimension scores, each category uniformly reflects a score of 76.05, except for Legislative/Regulatory Activism which is slightly lower at 75.67. These scores indicate a consistent and pervasive policy focus across various dimensions, such as Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Media & Platform Moderation. The uniformity of scores demonstrates Sweden's holistic approach to integrating progressive policies across different sectors, with particular emphasis on corporate and investor signalling, education, and activism. The balanced distribution of dimension scores underscores Sweden's comprehensive regulatory frameworks and its commitment to maintaining high standards in social policy signalling intensity.
