A new study tracking three decades of municipal data challenges a common narrative, finding that while some state services have become more centralised, rural areas have not experienced larger declines in public employment than cities.

The notion that the elderly in the past lived securely within extended families and were supported by their children is a romanticized exaggeration. Anton Svensson from Economic History demonstrates how elderly households in 19th-century Stockholm were in reality forced to navigate a vulnerable existence, where differences in living standards were deeply unequal. In today's debate, the modern welf
