      Not enough jobs to work part time while studying combined with reduced student assist.
      Its crazy that students are only group of people in Finland who are supposed to cover basic living with loan.

    2. No big surprise there, as the focus has consiously been shifted towards student loans.

      The loan itself is not really a problem. The current problem is that employment after you finish your studies is very unsure. Having a student loan of 12 k€ is nothing if you can get a job afterwards.

      The reality is even more drastic. The linked statistic shows the avarage student debt across all students, where first and second year students naturally pull the avarage down.

      In my opinion a better indicator is the avarage dept students have upon gradution (from year 2022):
      – Masters degree (University): 22 660€
      – AMK: 17 800€

      Most likely this has increased again since student benefits have been cut again and the amount of loan increased.

      Correct the headline to almost doubles…

      5000 Euro in 2010 is equivalent to approximately 6892.64 Euro in 2024.

      And this is just with official annual inflation numbers. Actual inflation on food and loving costs probably is worse.

      Then again salary inflation probably lacks behind.
