Swedish model
Nordic welfare system
The Swedish model refers to Sweden's approach to social democracy, combining a market economy with a strong welfare state, high taxes, and extensive public services.
The term is sometimes applied specifically to Sweden's prostitution laws, which criminalize buying but not selling sex—a legal framework adopted by several other countries.
Separately, a Swedish model is simply a model from Sweden.
