Statement

The methods used follows the recommandations given by Eurostat. Documents such as EU legislation on the 2021 population and housing censuses EXPLANATORY NOTES, Census Grid DSD - guidelines.Administrative data with system-to-system solution.

Administrative data are transferred automatically from the Swedish Tax Agency to Statistics Sweden via a joint service for government agencies for sending data to each other.The Swedish Population Register is the fundamental registration of the population in Sweden. It contains information about identity, residence and family relationships. The Swedish Tax Agency is responsible for the Swedish Population Register. The purpose of the register, in accordance with the appropriation directions, is that data in the register should reflect the population's actual residence, identity, and family law conditions, to ensure that various functions in society receive correct information for decisions and measures. The collection, measurement and registration of the information are done by the Swedish Tax Agency. Most data in the population register comes from other government agencies, where reporting is included as part of the working duties of, for example, midwives, wedding officials, courts or doctors. Notification to the Swedish Tax Agency by individuals is only done in a few cases; notifying the name of a new-born child, changing names, migrating within Sweden and immigrating to, and emigrating from Sweden. There are several services to streamline data collection, for example, a web service has been introduced that enables hospitals to report births electronically, and there is an e-service to report migration.

Since the information is used widely in society, the chance of detecting errors increases. Some government agencies, such as the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the Swedish Migration Agency and the Swedish National Board of Student Aid, by regulation, are obligated to report errors in the Swedish Population Register to the Swedish Tax Agency. In addition, the birth certificate issued by the Swedish Tax Agency can be regarded as an important check on data accuracy. The individual submits a request for a birth certificate, which shows the data contained in the register. A birth certificate is required, for example, when acquiring identity cards, applying for Swedish citizenship or applying for divorce.

The data for the Total Population register (TPR) at Statistics Sweden is retrieved from the Swedish Tax Agency's Swedish Population Register. Several automatic and manual checks are made to ensure the quality of the register, both at a micro and macro level.

Regarding geographic data a quality check is made to make sure that the coordinates are within the municipal bound. Very few properties lack coordinates and none of the adresses do.The statistics are based on the population registered in the Swedish Population Register. Since correct registration in the register is a condition for being able to live a normal life in Sweden, the general quality and reliability of the register is regarded as very high.

Failure to report immigrations and emigrations means that the published population is overestimated by 56,000 persons or 0.5 per cent.For confidentiality regarding the authority's specific task for the production of statistics, Chapter 24 Section 8 of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (2009:400) applies. Within the area of statistics, there are also specific rules on the handling of personal data in the Official Statistics Act (2001:99), the Official Statistics Ordinance (2001:100) and the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, (2016/679). Data may be used for statistical purposes if there is no doubt that the information can be disclosed without causing harm or economic damage to any individual in the data.Targeted record swapping and the cell key method are used as protection methods. We thus follow the recommendation by Eurostat to use both methods in combination. Targeted record swapping is applied to micro data. The method has the advantage that all tables produced from the protected data are consistent, and the method is targeted so that households most at risk for disclosure are more likely to be swapped. The cell key method is applied when tables are produced and assures consistency in that wherever a cell appears in any hypercube, it is protected in the same way. For the cell key method, we use the implementation originally developed by Australian Bureau of Statistics. The parameters used in the Swedish applications of the methods are not publicly available.
