It's interesting to me that it's a universally known fact that employers do not want to hire long term unemployed people or old people, yet nobody in politics even discusses this issue or means to tackle it. You can't solve this by forcing these people to make more job applications because they are not the problem.

It is definitely great going back into studying and having 65% of your monthly income going into rent. Now I konda wish instead of switching careers I had taken an offered job monitoring Finnish-language social media in Berlin because what the Christ. This podunk town has no business being this expensive to live in.

Berlin's a great city, by the way. At least to visit, no idea what it's like to actually live there long-term.

One of the weird things if I understood the whole thing correctly: Schools get paid by the amount of people graduating "on time". This is virtually nearly impossible to do if you're studying part time by doing night classes however, so most schools don't offer complete programs for night time / multi form studies.

Seems like if someone is tired of working kaupan kassalla you would want to give them the opportunity to study while working. I couldn't do the full-time student thing myself due to failed business leading to debt so I had to work while going through it insinööri koulutus. When we got in we got told it was the last time night classes were being offered for the programme as the school just couldn't afford to keep doing it. It's a shame, it was a pretty chill way to study, I'd recommend it even for full time students tbh. Much more self-paced stuff as well.

Getting an education or more education while working is definitely being cordoned off to people who are already well-off and can afford open university or to take a sabbatical year or two from work, and for those few employers who actually want to get further education for their employees (this is usually as a perk in smaller companies). If you are working the till at a supermarket you are not the government's problem because you are not sullying the Holy Työllisyysluku.

Well there was that proposal a few months ago by, I believe it was SAK, to adopt the Swedish model of requiring employers to sack people in reverse age order (because younger people are more likely to land on their feet and find a new job) when downsizing, and it was roundly shot down. Outside of that, you don't really have a lot of means available to tell employers what to do except some kind of financial incentive boondoggle like having the taxpayers pay a certain share of the salaries of people over the age of 5x, or doing a socialism which we are told is bad.

"Scientifically proven, rich and creamy."

From what I've understood, the main reason why employers don't hire people over 50 is that they're stuck holding the bag if that person has to retire early due to health reasons.

Työkyvyttömyyseläkkeelle jää 20 000 ihmistä joka vuosi. Miltei joka kolmas eläkkeelle jäävä aloittaa eläkkeensä työkyvyttömyyseläkkeellä, joka kestää yleensä vuosia. Tämän eläkkeen kustantaa vakuutustensa kautta eläkkeelle jäävän viimeinen työnantaja. Laskukaava on monimutkainen, mutta lopputuloksena työkyvyttömyyseläkkeelle jäävä maksaa työnantajalle kymmeniä tai satoja tuhansia euroja.

Ainoa tapa välttää tämä kulu on, että ei palkkaa ihmisiä, joilla on riski jäädä työkyvyttömyyseläkkeelle. Siis etenkään vanhoja. Laki kieltää syrjinnän, mutta sitä on helppo kiertää.

Väitän, että tämä on yksi suurimmista syistä, miksi ikääntyneiden työllisyys on Suomessa muita pohjoismaita alempi.

Tämä sama lainsäädäntö ohjaa välttämään myös mielenterveysongelmaisten ja muiden työkyvyltään epävarmojen palkkaamista. Se tekee työmarkkinoista raa’at ja rankaisee inhimillisyydestä. Tämä ei tietenkään ollut lain tarkoitus, mutta se on sen seuraus.

The idea of the law was to prevent employers from ordering you to stick your fingers in a running paper mill, but it turns out laws that assume you work 45 years for the same employer don't work that well these days.

Pelote on kuitenkin melko olematon. Laakkonen mainitsee esimerkkinä kaksi oikeustapausta. Toisessa tapauksessa marjayrittäjä oli ensin esittänyt Laakkoselle työaikakirjanpidon. Sen perusteella Laakkonen laski, että heillä oli saatavia noin 10000 euroa tuntipalkkaa ja 40000 euroa urakkapalkkaa.

Oikeudessa sama yrittäjä kuitenkin kiisti oman kirjanpitonsa, joten oikeus hylkäsi syytteen urakkapalkan osalta. Oikeus tuomitsi yrittäjän työaikasuojelurikoksesta sekä maksamattomien tuntipalkkojen osalta työsyrjinnästä. Uhrit olivat ehtineet jo lähteä Suomesta. Oikeus piti kohtuuttomana, että yrittäjä joutuisi menettämään maksamattomat palkat valtiolle.

Mansikkatilan omistaja maksoi lopulta 180 euroa sakkoja.

Jotenkin semmoinen fiilis että oikeus ei ehkä päättäisi että rikoshyödyn menettäminen on kohtuutonta jos olisi joku muu varkauden laji kyseessä.

All this moralizing talk about the Perfidious Youth causing corona to flare up again are conveniently ignoring that
1) schools and universities are back on, which is gonna spread corona on its own amoung young people;
2) professions where you are exposed to other people and their germs are more prevalent among students and under 30 year olds (waiters, cleaners, grocery store clerks, hotels...), while people who have graduated get to sit on their rear end at home

Also "don't go to bars and restaurants and spread corona!" is kind of in conflict with allowing them to stay open all night all weekend. Like, you can keep the service economy running at 100 percent, but you can't then turn around and complain that young adults are spreading corona.

BINGO!

quote:

The coronavirus enters into human cells after the spiked protein of the virus binds with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor protein on the surface of cells. The team used a genome database of over 140,000 individuals across the globe, and compared the genes of seven proteins associated with viral entry, including ACE2, based on regional and ethnic groups. The genes were classified into groups of African, Latin American, European>>>> (excluding Finland)<<<<, East Asian, and Sout Asian. The study examined if there were any differences among groups in how easily a virus can attach itself to cells, as well as how easily it can enter into them. The findings showed that there was no disparity in the functions and structures of ACE2 seen among different regions and ethnicities. In addition, no differences were confirmed in the genes of the other six proteins which assist viral entry into cells.

That kinda explains why the 20-30 age group are least likely to go to Corona tests when first symptoms appear. However they're not entirely blameless, since here in university some student organizations are still organising parties and sits. Now I will admit that the students are following current regulations to the best of their abilities – at least in the one I've been – but alcohol fuelled events tend to lower people's guards. So far nothing has come out in this university, but we can't say the same for the ones down south. Another are the student economists who will hold their packed up parties, drat the torpedoes, but they are a class of their own, no need for the youth to share their blame.

Wasn't there a corona exposure case among uni students due to a student party just a few weeks ago? I'm pretty sure the youth are to blame here for being stupid enough to have ryyppäjäisiä period and clubbing or even to the local for pint or two rather than accepting that now's not the time for extended social interaction, followed by hunkering down and getting drunk at home, maybe with a few close mates at most. Or god forbid, even studying. And I'm definitely not just saying that because I'm a terminal goon who stopped going to student things two years ago because ne oli kaikki aivan perseestä.

It's also tedious to apply for since you have to fill out an enormous form, take into account any money you might've gotten from even like your grandma sending you 50 euros for your birthday or whatever and a kind of a gross invasion of privacy because you also have to deliver your bank statement for the past two months because Kela is certain you're probably just trying to scam them and you're actually moonlighting as an asbestos removal specialist.

Also, you can apply for max four months at a time (five now IIRC due to corona), and they may randomly threaten you with cutting the base sum you get by first 30% and then 50% if they deem you haven't met their criteria for being reasonably active in trying to improve your life situation that has led you to needing toimeentulotuki in the first place. Even if it's literally something you can't reasonably be expected to just magically "fix" in a couple of months. This, in addition to all the other poo poo about not being able to accept any work or own anything in assets really fucks the system up something bad.
