Finnish Government Initiative to Hire Young People in Agencies Faces Slow Start
What happened
The government of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo revealed a plan to address youth unemployment by recruiting young people for fixed-term positions in government agencies. The initiative aimed to hire a total of 500 young people aged 18 to 25, with the government earmarking four million euros from its supplementary budget to fund the program. However, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Finance stated that by the end of August, only 29 young people had been recruited across 16 government agencies. The ministry expressed confidence that the quota would be met by the end of the year.
