Copyright concerns
The article Social Security (Sweden) was tagged as a possible copy of this site and accordingly listed at the copyright problems board. A Swedish user, User:Henrik, has kindly confirmed to me that the site in question is official (here), but while the World Intellectual Property Organization indicates that there's no copyright in Sweden on "(1) laws and other regulations, (2) decisions by public authorities, (3) reports by Swedish public authorities, or (4) official translations of texts mentioned under items 1.-3."here it is not certain that this exclusion covers all material at this site. Unfortunately, there's no explicit reference to be found at the site. Accordingly, earlier versions of the article without the duplicated material have been restored. Please do not restore the questionable text without demonstrating the material may be used on Wikipedia without copyright concern. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Article name?
I'm very dubious if "Social Security" is an appropriate way to name a general age pension system, just because US has a system under this (not fullu descriptive) name. In a Swedish context, "Social security" (non-capitalised) could rather be the translation of socialförsäkring - the entire package of public-funded insurance & transfer systems. A name change to e.g. Age pension (Sweden) should be considered. Tomas e (talk) 19:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Article restart
I've now restarted the article to actually cover what the name is. :-) It's quite short and expanding it with more levels and how much different parts cost in total would be nice if somebody can be bothered to find that information (it's not always easy). I will also rename it to "Social Security in Sweden" as that name format seems more common. --OpenFuture (talk) 05:47, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Really bad article
It contains errors and is biased. The last part is really not objective...

You receive support for children up to the age of 18 (not 16 as stated), then they receive another support if they still are studying at gymnasium. 83.180.242.173 (talk) 23:17, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Editing help needed
I maget topic-banned soon, so I would appreciate if somebody could add the following references to the article:

355000 Swedish elderly live below the poverty line.

Swedish elderly live under the by far greatest poverty in the Nordic countries.

iw-link to Wikipedia in Swedish
I removed the iw that pointed to sv:Försörjningsstöd. Försörjningsstöd is what in English would be called Welfare (Basic security) provided by the municipalities on a means-tested basis - roughly put to keep citizens in dire need from starving or being evicted. However, this article is broader and covers Social security and Social insurance in Sweden listing several types of benefits from the welfare state. I can't find a suitable similar list-ish/summarizing article in svwp to link to. The individual benefits have their own articles in most cases. Jt (talk) 11:13, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Help needed
Hello.

I have found the following statistics references, that I think seem important and reliable.

I would greatly appreciate if somebody could please check through them and incorporate them into the article if they are deemed appropriate.

Thanks in advance for any help.

"355000 Swedish elderly live below the poverty line" and "750000 Swedish citizens are starving". As narratives, these really don't leap off of the page, stylistically speaking. Perhaps placing these facts into fully formed sentences might work better than headline-style delivery.  .  spinten do    17:09, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
