Or then just cut the highest pensions, the current pensioners never paid their share, so it is unfair for them to receive so much
What’s the best way to solve a highly complex and interconnected economical issue ? Ask the man and woman on the street.
Every country in the world wants the work-based immigrants that work and pay taxes, but do not need social security.
Few minor problems with this: many employers want cheap labour, who would not earn enough to pay in taxes for those pensions, but who might instead need some level of social security to add to the low wages.
Competing for the skilled, professional workers against every other country has so far meant tax breaks. Again taking away the “paying for our pensions” part.
Third issue: it seems we want workers, but not future pensioners? Would we kick them out when they retire – surely not?
Fourth issue: Do we have enough vacant jobs that pay high enough wages to take care of the pensions, so that the work based immigration doesn’t just mean cheaper (or “more suitable” – read: not versed in Finnish laws) labour pushing more people to unemployment? This isn’t exactly helping to balance the books. Except possibly the books of the businesses switching to cheaper labour.
It will be hard for Finland to compete for highly-skilled immigrants unless they totally reform Migri and relax/speed up immigration procedures
Young couples should be encouraged to have more children. Finland’s birth rates are abyssmal
