Työmarkkinafoorumit

Työmarkkinafoorumit, or Labour Market Forums, are collaborative platforms in Finland where representatives from employers, employees, and the government meet to discuss and influence labor market policies. These forums serve as crucial arenas for social dialogue and aim to find common ground on issues affecting employment, working conditions, and economic competitiveness.

The primary objective of these forums is to foster a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the Finnish labor market. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, they facilitate the development of constructive solutions and policy recommendations. Discussions often revolve around topics such as wage setting, social security, education and training needs, and the impact of economic trends on employment.

The outcomes of Työmarkkinafoorumit can include joint statements, proposals for legislative changes, and agreements on future actions. These forums contribute to the stability and adaptability of the Finnish labor market by promoting consensus and cooperation between key actors. They are a cornerstone of the Finnish model of social partnership, where social partners play a significant role in shaping national policies.
