Supplementary notes

The original question was phrased by the source as follows: "Om du ser till läget idag, vad upplever du själv som mest oroande?"

The different educational levels refer to the following:
Low education: no completion of compulsory school; primary school or equivalent;
Average education: gymnasium/high school completed but no university studies or graduation from university;
High education: university studies or graduation from university.

The percentage refers to the share of respondents stating to be "very concerned (1)". The share answering to be "rather concerned (2)", "not very concerned (3)" and "not concerned at all (4)" is not included in this statistic.
