HS: Finland drafting a “historic” overhaul of social security system

THE GOVERNMENT of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP) has begun work on a major overhaul of the social security system in Finland.

Helsingin Sanomat on Friday reported that the reform is aimed at combining a number of social security benefits into what is provisionally called a universal allowance to establish a system that is clearer and offers better work incentives for recipients.
