What are some of the main problems Finland is facing?
1)Aging population - too low birth rate to sustain the population and the growing number of pensioners
2) Economy, there’s been quite a lot of talk regarding the high amount of debt our state is in, and also the slow economic growth compared to other Nordics.
3) Health care crisis. Long wating times, low salaries for nurses and too high work load, overcomplicated IT systems etc.
4) Mental health issues and rising crime amongst the young people.
5) Worsening PISA scores, issues in our school system, and education reforms that have not worked as well as intended.
Some of the reasons given for Norway's poor ranking in the Quality of Life Index include the affordability of public transport, the opportunity to travel, and the availability of healthcare. Norway also ranks last for culinary variety and dining options, and badly for culture and nightlife.
