The Save the Children report, published on Monday, suggests that child poverty in Finland is still a problem.
Helsingin sanomat newspaper reports According to the study, more than half of the children from low-income families interviewed said they were either worried or very worried about the future.
About 80 percent of children in low-income families said they experienced stress, while 56 percent felt they were as important as other people.
Researchers asked about 3,000 13- to 17-year-olds for their opinions in April, when Finland shut down much of the economy to fight the coronavirus.
More apartments empty
Ilta-Sanoma has shaking on the sharp growth of vacant residential buildings in Finland on the basis of a blog published by Statistics Finland.
According to the paper, the number of vacant dwellings in 2019 had increased by about 130,000 since 2000, and there are currently more than 300,000 vacancies.
There are a total of just over three million residential properties in Finland.
Part of the increase is explained by difficulties in renting apartments in sparsely populated areas of the country, while part of it is due to property owners deliberately keeping their property empty.
Some people own apartments in the center of Helsinki and consider them empty because the property works as a good and safe investment when interest rates are low. Other homes are listed as vacant because they have no permanent residents and the owner rents them to short-term residents with services like AirBnb.
