työllistymisavustusta

Työllistymisavustus is a Finnish term that translates to employment subsidy or hiring subsidy. It is a financial incentive provided by the Finnish state to employers to encourage them to hire individuals who are facing challenges in finding work. These challenges can include long-term unemployment, being a recent graduate, or belonging to a group with a higher risk of unemployment.

The primary goal of työllistymisavustus is to reduce unemployment and support the integration of vulnerable individuals into the labor market. By lowering the cost of employing a new worker, the subsidy aims to make it more attractive for businesses to take on job seekers who might otherwise be overlooked. The subsidy is typically granted for a specific period and is often a fixed amount or a percentage of the employee's salary.

Eligibility for työllistymisavustus is determined by the Finnish Public Employment and Business Service (TE-palvelut). Employers must meet certain criteria, and the job seeker must also fulfill specific conditions, such as having been registered as unemployed for a minimum duration. The subsidy is a tool used within the broader framework of Finnish labor market policies to promote employment and economic activity. It is designed to be a temporary measure to facilitate entry or re-entry into the workforce.
