FOLKNET database - Demographic Data Base
The database FOLKNET contains information about the population in Sweden’s parishes, cities and municipalities according to the geographical division around 1990, every ten years during the period 1810–1990. The data has been collected by Christian Svärd, and the Demographic Data Base has digitized the information. The information has mainly been taken from Statistics Sweden’s historical publications. Additional data have been collected from the population forms of the database TABVERK. The database POPULATION is freely available from the home page of the Demographic Data Base.
DEMOGRAPHY (POPULATION, VITAL STATISTICS, AND CENSUSES)
Surveys of an entire population, as opposed to a sample survey. Often used for official enumerations of a population, usually including the collection of related demographic information. Note that in some countries censuses are not used as demographic information can be obtained from official registers.
