The Swedish economy only stand out for a couple of decades after the war (mostly because our industry was intact), which is when we also started to get any significant immigration. About a quarter of the Swedish population emigrated in the last decades before 1900 because Sweden, in it glorified homogenity, was so dirt poor so the people starved.
