Crisis in the Population Question 1934
Crisis in the Population Question: Alva and Gunnar Myrdal published their landmark 1934 book arguing Sweden's falling birth rates demanded a comprehensive family welfare programme; the work triggered the Population Commission and shaped a generation of social reforms.
Alva and Gunnar Myrdal published Kris i befolkningsfrågan in Stockholm in 1934. The bibliographic fact is now anchored in a library catalog record; the stronger claim that the book shaped a generation of family and population policy remains a confidence-ceiling claim until a welfare-history source is added.
In the chronology of the Swedish model, this anchors 1934 under Per Albin Hansson as a year shaped by institutions, public conflict, reform, or security policy rather than cabinet arithmetic alone.
Source confidence is B: the basic event is promoted, while broader interpretation still depends on the cited source tier and later primary-source upgrades.
