Vem ska finansiera Skånes framtida offentliga välfärd?

Sammanfattning

Rapporten analyserar finansieringen av den offentliga välfärden i Skåne i ett decentraliserat system där kommuner och regioner ansvarar för många tjänster. Den beskriver skillnader i skattekraft, demografi och socioekonomiska förutsättningar mellan kommunerna och deras varierande beroende av statsbidrag och utjämning. Rapporten tar också upp hur åldrande befolkning, sjunkande födelsetal, arbetskraftsrörlighet och beskattning på flera nivåer påverkar lokala skattebaser och finansieringens effektivitet.

Färre barn och fler äldre: Vad händer med Sveriges offentliga finanser?

Socialdepartementet, Framtid med barn 2026:6

Sammanfattning

Rapporten analyserar hur sjunkande födelsetal, ökad livslängd och förändrade migrationsmönster påverkar Sveriges offentliga finanser. På kort sikt kan färre barn minska utgifterna för barnomsorg, utbildning och andra välfärdstjänster. På längre sikt minskar arbetskraften och skattebasen när mindre årskullar når arbetsför ålder, samtidigt som en större andel äldre höjer försörjningskvoten. Rapporten visar att den demografiska utvecklingen har betydelse för både de offentliga finansernas hållbarhet och den ekonomiska tillväxten.

Housing and Society

Sammanfattning

Housing preferences in later life vary, and housing decisions are complex. While much attention has been paid to health and accessibility, less is known about how financial factors influence housing decisions among older homeowners. This qualitative study aimed to deepen understanding of how single-family homeowners aged 55 and older reason about their housing situation. We conducted focus groups with 30 participants from four Swedish municipalities, selected for their distinct demographic and housing market characteristics. Content analysis revealed a central theme: The many benefits of living in the current house outweigh economic and local housing market challenges. This theme emerged from four categories: (1) Desire to stay in place; (2) Discrimination toward older homeowners; (3) Local and national housing market conditions; (4) Reflecting on the future housing situation. The study demonstrates that preferences for aging in place are shaped by health status, emotional attachment, and financial concerns. Participants often viewed relocation as financially disadvantageous, and a limited supply of suitable housing and perceived lack of political prioritization further constrained their possibility of moving. These findings suggest a potential mismatch between housing policy goals and homeowners’ preferences, underlining the need for planning strategies that reflect local realities and support aging in place.

Does Access to Housing Wealth Relax Liquidity Constraints for Entrepreneurs? Evidence from Sweden

Sammanfattning

Liquidity constraints are often seen as a barrier to entrepreneurship, with many relying on personal or informal capital to start a business. This paper examines whether increased access to equity — via rising value of owner-occupied housing — affects the likelihood of business entry. Using detailed Swedish tax return data and exploiting the 2008 property tax reform as a natural experiment, we analyze how changes in house prices influence entrepreneurial activity. While higher housing prices correlate with business ownership and entry, this relationship disappears when isolating the causal effect of the tax reform. These findings contrast earlier findings and suggest that the value of owner-occupied housing proxy for individual characteristics rather than easing liquidity constraints, indicating that such constraints are not a major barrier to entrepreneurship in Sweden.
