- Sweden announced plans on July 6 to survey 3,000 people about their values to improve immigrant integration under its right-wing government.

- Approximately half of the survey participants will have Swedish origins, while the remaining half will come from non-Western backgrounds; the findings are intended to inform integration strategies that emphasize maintaining core Swedish societal values.
