  • Regional Socio-Economic Disparities in Finland
    Stefan Fina, Bastian Heider, Maija Mattila, Pauli Rautiainen, Mikko-Waltteri Sihvola, Kaisa Vatanen Unequal Finland Regional socio-economic disparities in Finland FRIEDRICH-EBERT-STIFTUNG – POLITICS FOR EUROPE Europe needs social democracy! Why do we need Europe? Can we demonstrate to European citizens the opportu- nities offered by social politics and a strong social democracy in Europe? This is the aim of the new Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung project “Politics for Europe”. It shows that European integration can be done in a democratic, economic and socially balanced way and with a reliable foreign policy. The following issues will be particularly important: – Democratic Europe – Social and ecological transformation – Economic and social policy in Europe – Foreign and security policy in Europe We focus on these issues in our events and publications. We provide impetus and offer advice to decision-makers from politics and trade unions. Our aim is to drive the debate on the future of Europe forward and to develop specific proposals to shape central policy areas. With this publication series we want to engage you in the debate on the “Politics for Europe”! About this publication On the outset and in international comparison, Finland has developed one of the wealthiest and most generous welfare states in the world and with low levels of income inequality and high social mobility. A deeper look reveals deepening re- gional disparities, leading to the observation that in fact there are four Finlands. Following Finland's post-war industrialisation, the rate of urbanisation and rural depopulation have been rapid, however the country's demographic change and stagnating unemployment rate have increased regional inequalities and put in- creasing pressure on municipalities.
