Created again in 1990, the organisation today has about 1200 members spread out over the country, most of them students at either universities or poly-technics.
The Social Democratic Students of Sweden focuses on questions connected to higher education but also organises seminars and debates on various topics such as: international affairs, gender equality, discrimination and equality at the labour market. In recent years the organisation has become a strong voice in the ideological debate within the Swedish Labour Movement. The Social Democratic Students of Sweden was the first social democratic organisation to argue for a Swedish EU (EC) membership and also the first to call for a common European currency. The organisation also has a strong relationship with the movement for democracy in Myanmar, with which it has worked in partnership with since 1996.
