10. The Committee is concerned about the lack of data disaggregated by disability, ethnic origin and socioeconomic and migration background, as this does not allow for sufficient analysis of the situation of children, and recommends that the State party:

(b) Strengthen the collection and analysis of data on discrimination against children, children with disabilities, statelessness and children with an “unknown nationality”, the socioeconomic situation of children, and violence against children, including abuse, neglect and sexual exploitation;

21. The Committee notes the amendment to the Citizenship Act (2001) made in 2021 that removes the requirement for certain stateless children to have a permanent residence permit in order to obtain Swedish nationality, but is concerned that the legislative framework remains restrictive, including for children with an irregular residence status, stateless children born abroad and children with an “unknown nationality”. The Committee recommends that the State party:

(a) Develop a procedure to determine the stateless status of children in order to properly identify and protect stateless children;

(b) Facilitate the acquisition at birth of nationality for children who would otherwise be stateless;

(c) Strengthen legal pathways for children with an irregular residence status, children born abroad and children with an “unknown nationality” to acquire a nationality.

(c) To consider becoming party to the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
