Työansioiden

Työansioiden is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun työansio, which refers to income earned from work. Työansio denotes compensation received for labor, such as wages, salaries, bonuses, overtime pay, and other earnings linked to employment. The term is commonly contrasted with pääomatulot, or capital income, which derives from assets rather than work.

In Finnish, the genitive plural suffix -iden is used to indicate possession or relation, so työansioiden means “of earned incomes” or “earned incomes’.” The form appears in phrases such as työansioiden verotus (the taxation of earned income), työansioiden määrä (the amount of earned income), and other policy or statistical contexts. The singular form is työansio, while the plural nominative is työansiot.

Economic and policy context: Työansioiden represents the portion of a household’s or individual’s income that comes from work as opposed to capital or transfer payments. It is a central concept in discussions of taxation, welfare analysis, income distribution, and labor market studies in Finland. Changes in earnings, wage policy, and taxation rules affecting työansioiden can influence overall living standards, tax progressivity, and social security contributions.
