Whilst most European economies are crumbling under the debt crisis, one country is bucking the trend, proving that austerity measures can simultaneously inspire growth and make a nation proud.

After years running an all inclusive welfare state, Sweden was, by the early '90s, in a deep crisis. The government pulled on the emergency brake and the social sector was reformed massively. Yet, "in comparison to many other countries, the Swedes have a great confidence in the state". Drastic austerity measures were coupled with good tax incentives and an open budget. "We have a very long tradition of making information available to the public; this principle has had a big impact."

ORF – Ref. 5319

I've actually read that Sweden has the MOST gender segregated labor force of all 1st world nations. So I would assume showing the female truck drive is very misleading of reality in Sweden...
