työssäkäyvää

Työssäkäyvä refers to the state of being employed or engaged in paid work within a Finnish context. It is a term that describes individuals who are actively participating in the labor force and earning a livelihood. This can encompass a wide range of occupations and employment types, from full-time permanent positions to part-time work, temporary contracts, and self-employment.

The concept of työssäkäyvä is central to economic and social policy in Finland. Statistics related to employment rates, unemployment, and labor force participation are closely monitored by governmental bodies and research institutions. These figures provide insights into the health of the economy, the effectiveness of employment services, and the overall well-being of the population.

Being työssäkäyvä often implies a contribution to the Finnish tax system, which in turn funds public services such as healthcare, education, and social security. It is also associated with individual financial stability and social integration. Conversely, a low rate of työssäkäyvä can indicate economic challenges and a strain on social welfare systems. The Finnish government actively promotes policies aimed at increasing employment and supporting those who are työssäkäyvä, as well as assisting those who are unemployed in finding work. The definition can extend to include those on parental leave or fulfilling military service, as these are often considered temporary interruptions from a state of being actively engaged in the workforce.
