Tukitoimenpitein

Tukitoimenpitein is a Finnish term used in public policy to refer to measures of support that are implemented to assist individuals, businesses, or sectors. The word is formed from tuk i, meaning support, and toimenpide, meaning a measure or action, with the instrumental suffix -in indicating the manner or means by which something is done: through such measures.

Use and scope: The phrase commonly appears in legislative, budgetary, and administrative texts. It describes the method by which aid or support is delivered, including subsidies, tax relief, grants, guarantees, or services. It is often used in contexts such as economic stabilization, social welfare, agriculture, and regional development, and in crisis response where relief is provided through specific tukitoimenpitein.

Usage notes: Tukitoimenpitein denotes the instrument of policy action rather than the measure itself; it describes how support is provided. It is often contrasted with tukitoimenpide (the measure itself) and with tukimuodot (types of support).

Examples: Governments may state that relief will be provided tukitoimenpitein, focusing on wage subsidies or grants for firms. In the budget, funding for unemployment benefits is described as implemented through tukitoimenpitein.
