Investing in Finland:

There are two different schooling systems in Finland:
One for the Finns (who got higher scores in PISA): they have lots of
trade schools, hard to get in universities, 1/4 to 1/10 of applicants
get in.
One for the Swedes (whose scores were lower): not many trade schools,
lots of places in universities so most get into higher education.

So, when a company chooses a new leader, look at the name.
Sounding Finnish (nieminen, virtanen etc.) - went to a hard-to-get-in
school, is one of the selected lot.
Sounding Swedish (relander, -son something) - went to a easy to get in
school - the education is not worse, though, so it does not mean that
all them are inept.

Check the names. Too late when you are reading some book "mihin katosi
soneran miljardit" (where went the sonera billions) :)

Happy investing.

The future of the Finnish children is - for some, lots - destroyed with the forced Swedish: they learn a useless language and do not learn any language that would be of use, in Europe, where you need languages to succeed. Lots of kids never Finnish school because of their inability to learn the language (or are not willing to) of their Masters.
Anyone considering Finland as a country to move to - do not.
Others are warmer and better.

Finland is an occupied country, the forced Swedish policies are getting worse and worse every year.
What Finland would need is an liberation army of some sort. Alas Finns are very tame people and their days seem numbered.

Financial losses -because of the forced Swedish and the apartheid policies of different school, health centers, living-areas (no Swedes in lähiöt - the worse areas), hospitals- alone are so great that most countries would not have surrendered to the occupiers who came forcing Swedish with violence, countless Finns dead, but fought the oppressors in a war. Finns surrendered. Because of that Finns continue to die: non-schooled Finns, who did not learn or want to learn forced Swedish end up with no work at all, no hope, ending their lives because of the misery - the deaths, losses in manpower continue and continue, because Finland dared not fight.

And how the Nokia cellphones are made ? They still have at least one factory in Finland. The links, in Finnish, describe how a single mother with 3 children is forced by the Turku employment office to go work for Nokia or lose benefits. She will get a base pay of 7.5 euros an hour. - to nokias credit, some other companies, big name international ones too, take people to work for the benefits the government gives, and the government pays _the employer_ to take someone to work -
Other single mothers work there too

Nokia factory is in Salo. There is a company bus from Turku. She first has to get from her home to the bus. Probably the trip takes something like two hours one way.

one of the children is 7, others 3 and 4. The 3 and 4 year olds will get places in kindergartens. The 7 year old wont as the child is too old. Will have to stay nights (or days)home alone when mother is not at home.

(Now, men are treated commonly a lot worse, but nobody really cares about how men are treated like and as you can read, in the forums, not all care about the mother and her children either.)
