> social services in Sweden
What's fun to note about social services in Sweden is that they're bleeding money like a motherfucker: more people are using the hospitals, schools, welfare checks, etc. More and more people are jobless and unproductive, even more unproductive people are being imported every year (over 140.000 immigrants are estimated to arrive during 2014), the services are prone to nepotism and very generous salaries for politicians and bosses (sometimes they're synonymous), etc.
The Swedish economy is a bomb waiting to explode, and Swedes are too afraid to speak about it for fear of being called racist or islamophobe or what not.
So... SNAFU. Just like the rest of Europe. Sucks to not be a politician / municipal boss right now. They're the only ones who have it blissfully easy.

- tresta 13y agoYes, there are a lot of immigrants in sweden. All of them that I have met (except for the ones from the E.U) have been productive members of society. There's the turk system administrator, the iranian who's also going to be a system administrator (once he gets a visa and my employer can actually hire him), the chinese guys, the pakistanians and so on.... Ironically the people from the E.U. that I know have been the people that are actually abusing the system. Like the welshman who is being "burned out" (no, he's not), and the irish guy who keep bouncing between jobs, and there are more people like this.
