Demographic Shift: City Plans for Schools, Housing, Jobs
Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Emilia Bjuggren (S), Commissioner for Education, Labour Market, and Schools, regarding Stockholm's strategy for declining birth rates and an aging population, specifically how this impacts planning for schools, housing, and the labor market, and what measures are planned to attract families and secure the workforce. Bjuggren responded that the city closely monitors demographic trends, which influence operations and budgets, and highlighted ongoing efforts to ensure efficient welfare services, retain welfare staff as an attractive employer, and alleviate the housing shortage to allow families to afford living and growing in the city, noting Stockholm's continued low municipal tax rate.
