Laut einer neuen Eurostat-Umfrage ist Finnlands Beschäftigungsquote mit der Frankreichs vergleichbar

You see a lot about Finland having such a terrible unemployment rating, so it’s interesting to see that while the actual employment rating isn’t great comparatively, it’s definitely not the worst. Better than countries like Belgium, France or Italy. I wonder what the reason is for Finland to have a higher number of non working people to be registered as unemployed. My guess is that part of it is that Finland has a high percentage of working women comparatively, and thus less housewives who aren’t registered as unemployed despite not having a job.

Something I also wonder if it has something to do with it, I myself was registered with the unemployment office despite having a part time job, as the money from working part time wasn’t enough to cover all my bills, until I eventually got a fulltime contract. The unemployment office in Finland is also pretty active in going after you when you lose your job
