Zmiana instytucjonalna: przykład zaufania w Szwecji w latach 1998-2018
Institutional change: the case of trust in Sweden, 1998-2018

Summary/Abstract: The article examines changes in the level of trust in Sweden between 1998 and 2018, based on data from recurring public opinion surveys conducted by the SOM Institute. The findings point to a generally high level of trust, but also reveal a significantly lower and steadily declining level among certain social groups. This indicates a gradual institutional change in this area. The erosion of trust, driven by deepening social inequalities, contributes to societal fragmentation and undermines the positive effects that high levels of trust have brought to Swedish society. Addressing the widening gap in trust between different social groups should be treated as a policy priority in the years to come.
