Finland, water continuously heads in the world's happiest list, wants to attract immigrant workers because of population aging.

There is an obvious thing that everyone knows, it is that we need a large amount of labor to Finland, Saku Tihverainen, the employer of Talented Solutions, said.

Many Western countries are facing population decline, but few places feel its clear impact as Finland.

Jan Vapaavouri, mayor of Helsinki, introduced the city on June 22.

The Finnish government warned that this 5.5 million people needed to double the number of immigrants, to 20,000-30,000 people a year to maintain public services and reduce the pension deficit.

At first glance in Finnish seems to be an attractive destination, gaining high scores when compared to other countries in quality of life, freedom, gender equality, less corruption, crime and pollution.

After many years of stagnation, businesses and governments are in a key stage and are recognizing the issue of population aging, according to Charles Mathies, researchers at Finnish Academy.

Mathies is one of the government's consultants for the Government's talent strengthening program.

The object that the program wants to attract is the Spanish medical personnel, Slovakia mechanic, an expert on information technology and maritime from Russia, India and Southeast Asia.

But previous efforts were not successful.

Finland witnessed the number of immigrants in most of the past decade, with the number of people who came more than 15,000 in 2019. There are things, people who leave are people with higher education levels.

Facing a shortage of skilled labor, some start-up companies in Finland are creating a recruitment site to attract more talents abroad.

This is a long process, Shaun Rudden, employers from Wolt Food delivery company, said.

Starting companies for me or they can get any people in the world to work in Helsinki, as long as the person is single, Jan Vapaavouri, Mayor Helsinki, said.

Many foreigners complain about the reluctance of Finnish enterprises in recognition of experience or foreign qualifications, as well as prejudices with non-Finnish candidates.

Ahmed, a 42-year-old British, has many years of experience in building digital products for multinational household companies, still cannot find jobs after 6 months connecting and applying for Helsinki, where he

A employer even refused to shake my hand, making me froze, he said.

The job is not missing, but thinking is lacking, Ahmed, who has received countless invitations from major companies in Norway, Qatar, England and Germany while looking for a job in Finland, said.

Tihverainen said a shortage of labor was promoting many companies to relax only to recruit Finnish people.

With the mayor of Vapaavouri, Finland four consecutive years ranked first in the United Nations' happiest national rankings did not help us as much as expected.

If you ask any person on the streets of Paris or London, Rome or New York, I think most don't know Finland, he said.

Mayor Helsinki, who will end the term this summer, is moving to international media companies to help improve the position of the city.

Helsinki's strengths are safe, a multi-functional, reliable, easy to predict, which are increasingly important values, Vapaavouri expressed.
