“No one will bat an eyelid if you take a day off work.”

You forgot to mention that you WON’T get paid if you take a single day off work, something that makes Sweden unique in the modern world?

Sweden is a great place to work in many ways, but there are severe problems for people moving here to work if they are accustomed to other EU countries.

That's only if you are taking sick-leave (and for the first day, then you get some part of your salary), also Sweden got 25 days of mandatory paid vacation days.
Would not that lead to people taking the minimum required to get sick pay even for minor ailments.
off for sick leave, and this is somewhat changing now with the new karensavdrag system
