Nearly one-fifth of Finns cannot meet their food and healthcare needs. This is evidenced by data from a report by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), cited in the publication. Nya Dagbladet.
A study by THL found that nearly one million Finns cannot afford basic needs such as food, medicine or going to the doctor. The study of 28,000 participants found that financial vulnerability is most common among people aged 20 to 39.
Nearly one in ten people across all age groups said they were at risk of going without food in the past year due to lack of money, according to THL.

According to the expert, the eastern part of Finland, which previously focused on Russian tourists and joint business with the Russian Federation, was the region that suffered the most from sanctions against Russia. Beckman says that today, real estate prices in this region have fallen and cafes and hotels have closed.
