This spring, the corona pandemic prompted the research companies behind the study, which is normally conducted every two years, to produce an additional report to cover possible changes in the way people view life in both their lives. personal as in national affairs.
The new poll was conducted between September 2 and 17, a period in which one of the study’s authors, Stefan Kraft of Gullers Grupp, estimates that the news flow was characterized by many other things besides the pandemic.
– It was a period when the crown returned to media favorites like clans and violent crimes, in news about the state budget, in Preemraff. We talked about the increase in infection, but especially after the development in Europe and about oral protection in public transport, and Donald Trump said during the presentation at the Western Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Gothenburg.
This is how study participants from Sweden responded in February and September, respectively, when asked to select ten from a large number of values / characteristics / behaviors “that best describe the Sweden you live in today.”

Many people lack the community of the workplace. when the pandemic forces you to do homework. More people are also concerned about unemployment. But the conclusion of Stefan Kraft and the studio’s project manager, Sandra Zätterström, remains that our core values haven’t changed much.
– There is a decent and expected stability. On the other hand, we see very different experiences between men and women and between those who work in the public or private sector. But an observation is still a shift from individual to more of relationship, shared vision, and caring.
On how the pandemic seems to have changed work life, says:
– The gap between the current situation and the desired situation in terms of balance between home work and employment is widening, especially in the public sector. The gap is increasing more between the young and the old. Those 31 to 50 years old think it works best. But many describe that the task never ends now, that everything goes together.
Those taking the survey can choose from a wide range of concepts, the ten that they consider best describe the values / characteristics / behaviors in “the Sweden I live in today”.
Project manager Sandra Zätterström presents here the results of the question which characteristic best describes the respondents’ workplace. Above: “teamwork”.
That list is headed for the first time by the category “violence and crime.” 782 respondents had chosen it. Shortly after came the “uncertainty about the future” and in third place the “bureaucracy”. Precisely, the “bureaucracy” is clearly higher in the public sector compared to the private sector. There, it’s not even on the top ten list.
This can be compared with the study carried out in February this year. Then “uncertainty about the future” peaked before “violence and crime” and “they blame each other.”
On the other hand, respondents in the February and September surveys believe that “economic stability” is the factor that is considered fundamentally central “for Sweden to function in the best possible way.” In that category, “jobs” have risen to second place.
When participants received The question of what best describes your own workplace tops “teamwork” even now in September, but the concept of “responsibility” has moved from fourth to second.
– When it comes to personal values, they are the same now, a bit involved in the pandemic. But it can be said that the family further strengthens its position and more people choose words like compassion, adaptability and fairness, while financial stability has had to recede a bit, says project manager Sandra Zätterström.
