lainpohjaisista

Lainpohjaiset are a type of individual within the Finnish social security system. They are individuals who reside in Finland on a permanent basis but are not Finnish citizens. This type of individual does not have any social insurance, which is usually tied to one's nationality or employment status.

Lainpohjaiset are primarily individuals who do not have a fixed place of employment or are not members of the Finnish pension system. They may include expatriates working in Finland, long-term residents, or family members of Finnish citizens living in the country.

As individuals without social insurance, lainpohjaiset are required to pay taxes and are entitled to certain rights and benefits under the Finnish Social Insurance Institution (Kela). These benefits can include health care, unemployment benefits, and maternity and paternity leaves, among others.

Finnish law stipulates that individuals must register as lainpohjaiset before gaining permission to work in Finland. This registration allows them to receive a residence permit, which includes certain social benefits and rights.

Some individuals may prefer or choose to remain lainpohjaiset rather than becoming Finnish citizens or registering for social insurance, potentially for tax or financial reasons. However, losing social insurance also means giving up other important rights and benefits tied to Finnish residency.

There may be certain pros and cons to being a lainpohjaiset in Finland, including affordable healthcare and safety nets, against reduced social security and labor rights.
