"According to UN projections, Sweden will be a much poorer country by 2030, much worse than what anyone in the Swedish government indicates.
The UN report HDI (Human Development Index) predicts a significant decrease in Swedish prosperity, unlike their Nordic neighbors, who will retain their top positions and even strengthen them globally in the long run.
In 2010 Sweden had the 15th place in the HDI rankings but according to UN forecasts, Sweden will be #25 in 2015, and in 2030 on the 45th place. "
Sweden was 14th in 2015. The prediction wasn't meant to be accurate, the UN was using experimental numbers.
"The logic should be really simple to understand, yet many have difficulties grasping it: If you import the Third World, it's what you'll get."
