B Ib Lio G Ra Phyof F in N Is H P Opu La Tio N R E Se a Rch 19 158 Yearbook of Population Research in Finland 35 (1998-1999), pp. 158-195 Bibliography of Finnish Population Research 1995-1998 Gathered and edited by ULLA-MAIJA MATTILA The bibliography covers mainly the literature on population research published in Finland during 1995-1998. Included are independent publications, articles in periodicals, and mainly nationwide statistics published in Finland as well as studies by Finnish authors published abroad. In general the bibliography excludes nonscientific articles in newspapers and weeklies as well as unpublished reports and academic theses. Also not included are studies presented in proceedings of conferences held in Finland if they are written abroad and treated subjects outside Finland. Neither are comparative studies where Finland not forms a substantial part included in the bibliography. Coverage is less complete in peripheral fields. In principle the main divisions appearing in the Population Index have been used with added subdivisions better suiting Finnish circumstances. Studies covering several fields of demography, which should rightly be listed in two or more divisions, are included in only one division, i.e. in the division representing the primary field, on which the report is centered. Lists o f literature on population research have been published in Yearbooks II-IV o f the Family Federation of Finland and since 1960 in the Yearbook of Population Research in Finland.

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic.

It is possible for the majority of Europeans to study, work, or retire in any of the 28 European Union (EU) member states, as well as in Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. Europe is thus a unique area, where sovereign states have given parts of their legislative power to supranational institutions and have given up one of the fundamental rights that define a nation state – that of deciding who can cross its borders. Increased mobility to other EU member states after Finland joined the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1994 and the EU in 1995 testifies to the fact that also Finns are taking advantage of the free movement regime. This sociological study examines the labour market experiences of one intra- European migrant group: highly skilled Finns who have moved to other EU15 countries. Based on two consecutive Working in Europe online surveys (2008, 2010) and 18 migrant interviews, this study addresses three empirical questions: “Why do highly skilled Finns move abroad?”, “How do highly skilled Finns find work in the EU15 countries?”, and “What kinds of skills and qualifications ease or impede labour market access and what kinds of jobs do these Finns work in?” The recognition of skills, educational qualifications and work experience, i.e.

In April 2015, 242,096 of them were entitled to vote. It is likely that every Finn has a family member, friend or acquaintance living abroad. By this calculation, the number of expatriate Finns exceeds 1.6 million. This third Government policy programme for expatriate Finns presents fresh perspectives on the relationship between expatriate Finns and their country of origin, together with models for how that relationship might be further strengthened in the future. From the expatriate Finns’ perspective, the main objectives of the programme are developing the Finnish Schools and other school conditions of expatriate Finnish children and young persons, providing support for organisational activities arranged by expatriate Finns, encouraging voter turnout among expatriate Finns, and safeguarding the operations of the Finnish Expatriate Parliament.
