The Finnish government is preparing to make its first social security cuts already this fall

Some background: According to the Finnish government, Finland no longer has the money to maintain the highest and most expensive social security in the world and therefore they must be cut so that Finnish government spending can be adjusted, balanced and fit into the budget. By cutting finnish social security, the government is also trying to reduce the passive effect of benefits and the incentive trap to stay at home.

Now the timetable for the reform of social security is taking shape, and it seems that the first cuts to reduce subsidies would already take place this fall, so I thought that this news is something that would interest people on this sub as well.

But what is your opinion about Finnish social security and its cuts? Are they too high or too low? Or the reason why some are unemployed or not?

And why, in your opinion, the Council of Europe and the European Commitee of Social Rights thinks the level of Finland’s social security is too low?
