In the paper, attempt was made to verify the not uncommon opinion about the collapse of the Swedish welfare state model. The first part of the paper was devoted to description of the 'Swedish model'. Attention was drawn, among other things, to its features such as: the high level, universality and equality of social rights of all the citizens, the full employment policy and the solidaristic wage policy. Especially the 'Swedish model's' particularity, i.e. the very high level of social expenditures was stressed and, in this connection, their size, structure and financing sources were presented. Then, the principles of organization of the following areas of the social security were discussed: the pension system, the health care system, the labour market policy and the family and social aid policy. The next part of the paper was devoted to the development trends of the Swedish economy, with special regard to the economic growth rate, the productivity, the level of unemployment and the condition of public finance. In the last part of the paper, basing on the analysis made, conclusions were drawn in the key question formulated in the heading of the paper.

After the convincing center-right electoral victory in the 2006 elections, one might expect that social democratic hegemony in the country might be coming to an end with it the 'Swedish model' of generous, universalistic welfare policies. Even though the Social Democrats have their poorest electoral performance since universal suffrage, one could easily argue that the election signified a victory for social democratic hegemony. In general, Social Democrats did not lose the elections because the voters turned against traditional social democratic welfare policies, but rather the voters perceived that the Social Democrats had neglected traditional welfare policies like full employment. Instead, the Conservatives (known in Sweden literally as the 'Moderate Meeting Party') moved away from their previous market-liberal policies, repackaged themselves as 'New Moderates' and claimed to be the new workers' party. The article describes Swedish social policy reforms implemented by the 'New Moderates' in the field of labour and tax policies, healthcare and the family policies.
