• explain one challenge adopted by Sweden in managing socio-economic diversity

One challenge Sweden faces is high taxation rates. Sweden has many social benefits that are provided by the government such as lengthy parental leave, unemployment allowances, healthcare and free education however they are all made possible due to its high taxation rates. In 2019 high income earners were paying income taxes of 57.2% which is one of the highest in the world. Apart from direct taxation, there are other forms of income tax such as the Value-Added Tax (VAT) which was about 25% in 2019. With such high tax rates, people who earn less and have a lower income would struggle more as tax would take up more than half of their paycheck which can affect their livelihoods as they may struggle to make ends meet for themselves and their families.
