We can state daily that poverty and exclusion are growing in Sweden. The ongoing covid-19 pandemic is also contributing to that development. It is an experience that is also reflected in current statistics from e.g. Eurostat. Sweden is one of the few countries in the EU where the risk of poverty and social exclusion increases. But for many it is a partially invisible problem.
