From 2010 to 2022, the share of people with very or rather large trust in the Swedish government fluctuated. Interestingly, from 2015 to 2021, the share of people who had trust in the government in Sweden was higher among people raised outside of Sweden than people raised in the country. As of 2022, 47 percent of the Swedish-raised population and 42 percent of the respondents raised abroad had high levels of trust in the government.
