Reforms and adjustments well before the economic crisis in Sweden are discussed. Services and the public sector play an important role in Sweden, compared to most other developed countries. Sweden is one of three OECD countries with 26% of the share of public employees in the workforce in 2010. Sweden is also one of the countries where public employment is the most decentralized: in 2011, only 18% of public employment falls in the central government, about 20% in the counties and just over 60% in the municipalities. Finally, counties and municipalities provide and fund essential health services, education services.
