Employment and income level of immigrants in the capital region worse than average
A recent study by the city of Helsinki provides information about the housing, employment, and income situation of immigrants in the greater Helsinki area in 2020. The study shows that foreigners who moved to Finland have a lower income level and in general are more often unemployed than Finns.
By the end of 2020, 220,000 people with a foreign background - of whom about 180,000 were born abroad - lived in the greater Helsinki area.
