Scandinavian Cultures and Languages
Recently there have been some weird things happening in Scandinavian cultures which may affect the Nordic countries. The Swedish government has presented the state of human development in their country. According to their expectations the trend of development is coinciding. But according to UN projections, the HDI (Human Development Index) that the Swedish government presented does not correspond to the actual situation in Sweden. Their predictions are that the country is in much worse condition. More worrying is the expectation that this trend of poverty will rapidly increase until 2030.
The remark in UN report about Sweden is correct according to lower HDI compared to the previous period. Unlike her other Nordic neighbors that increased their HDI. If in 2010 in the HDI rankings, Sweden was in 15th place while in 2015 they had fallen to 25th place. In 2030 they are expected to decline to only the 45th place, which is a drop of 30 positions for a period of 35 years. This would lead to an approximate constant decline of one position per year.
