Anxiety grows in Finland: many doubt pensions will be sustained in the future

Results from the Eläketurvakeskus (ETK) pension barometer, run by Finland's state pension institution, show that an increasing number of Finns are doubting the sustainability of the pension system. Many people fear that pension payments may not be guaranteed in the future.

Finland's pension system faces growing mistrust: a fresh pension barometer from the Eläketurvakeskus (ETK), the state pension institution, shows that fewer and fewer Finns believe the state will be able to pay pensions in the future.

The pension barometer results reflect concerns that have deepened in Finland in recent years. An ageing population, changes in the labour market and economic challenges have raised questions about whether the current pension system is sustainable in the long term.

The Eläketurvakeskus regularly collects data on Finns' attitudes towards the pension system. The barometer results provide an overview of how the population assesses the availability of pensions in their old age and how confidently people think about their future.
