Why Finland Needs You!
The Finnish government urgently needs approximately 27,000 foreign workers to fill labor shortages in over 33 occupations. Why? Let’s break it down:
- Net Migration Issues: Finland, like other Nordic countries, experiences more emigration than immigration.
- Aging Population: With an average age of 44, Finland has a pressing need for younger international talent.
To address these challenges, Finland has introduced significant changes, including higher salaries, streamlined visa processes, and direct hiring from abroad.
