Abstract: Most developed countries have experienced a shift from manufacturing to more service-based economies. In this article we analyse how this shift is affecting Sweden. First, using employment data and information from national input-output tables, we provide evidence of the movement away from manufacturing and the resulting changes in the national industrial mix and in inter-industry linkages. Secondly, using these data along with results from a questionnaire, we examine the growth and changing importance of various service sectors. Finally, using employment information, we show how the changes in manufacturing and service industries are leading to a spatial restructuring of the economy.
