description The World Bank interviewed a representative sample of the private sector in 4 of the most active economic regions in Sweden. The sample consisted of 600 business establishments surveyed from January 2014 through November 2014. The Enterprise Survey (ES) covers several topics of the business environment as well as performance measures for each firm. This report presents following highlights from the survey: between 2011 and 2013, real annual sales grew at a higher rate in manufacturing than in services sectors; women constitute more than one-third of a firm’s workforce, but only 1 in 8 firms has a female top manager; obtaining an operating license or a construction permit takes much longer for large firms; services firms are more likely to provide training than manufacturing firms, and complain less about lack of skills; and labor market issues such as labor regulations and inadequate education are ranked as top obstacles.
