A survey of international labour markets — with a focus on Finland and its neighbouring regions

Other Publications, Reports 2 Paula Paavilainen

The report compares Finland with three different country groups — neighbouring countries, large countries, and small EU countries — with respect to labour supply, employment, unemployment, and the educational level of the working-age population. From the perspective of labour supply, the working-age population and participation rate are examined. Employment is considered in terms of the employment rate, sectoral employment, part-time and fixed-term work, and working hours. In addition to the unemployment rate, long-term unemployment is compared across different countries. Following an assessment of the educational level of the population, its connection to economic growth is considered. (AI translation)
