Last Wednesday I read this full report on Finland and its economic outlook (some of the articles available here).

My main learnings below:

• Economic growth hasn't translated in lower unemployment nor higher incomes per capita.
• The baby boomer retirement bomb will explode here earlier than in the rest of Europe.
• In order to maintain the same amount of people in the workforce, immigration would be needed.  However, the country is not prepared for it nor is very attractive.
• There is a lot of focus in innovation, but not enough in marketing that innovation (which is obvious when one reads articles like this one).  Entrepreneurship is really minimal.
