Lowered the legal threshold for dismissing employees and expanded local bargaining, undermining national collective agreements. Introduced an unpaid first day of sick leave, penalizing low-wage workers. Cut housing allowances and unemployment benefits, including the removal of child supplements. Froze many social welfare benefits, decoupling them from inflation and reducing purchasing power. Substantially cut funding for social, mental health, and peace-building NGOs. Required work-based immigrants to leave Finland if they cannot find a new job within three months of unemployment. Halved the refugee quota, tightened family reunification rules, and extended the citizenship residency requirement to eight years. Raised the general Value Added Tax (VAT) to 25.5%, driving up the cost of consumer goods. Enforced strict healthcare budget limits, leading to local health station closures and hospital network consolidation. Oversaw a continued climb in the national debt alongside a wave of bankruptcies in the construction sector. Contributed to a highly polarized climate, sparking massive strikes over austerity measures and controversies involving coalition ministers. And the highest score in European unemployment rates!
