[G]rants may be paid in the amount of SEK 350,000 for those who have reached the age of 18 and SEK 25,000 for those who have not reached the age of 18, but not more than SEK 500,000 for spouses or cohabitants and not more than SEK 600,000 per family
So that is a litte less that 35,000 USD (after this proposed increase). This is liberal politics in Sweden.
Also to note, the first statement from the minister there in that link, Johan Forssell, his son is active club neonazi. He is still in the party and a Swedish minister.

As European you should be aware that this idea has been used in countries here. German and Swedish approaches have already been posted, and here is another: Austria offers Syrian refugees 1,000 euros to return home.
As “Europeans” we need to get off our high horse and stop pretending we do things better.
Germany actually has a similar program: https://www.returningfromgermany.de/en/page/voluntary-return/
