Takala does not understand the blame for the unemployed. There would be a desire for work and working capacity, but construction stopped.
Seinäjoki Pauliina Takala Lives alone with his adult son. Takala’s work as a surface handler stopped after a long career in the fall of 2022. Since then, there was only enough work.
Takala’s son graduated in the spring as a plumbing installer, but no work has been found.
Mother and son are unemployed because in Finland is not built. In August, unemployment rose to record records. In August there were 267,000 unemployed in Finland, which is 53,000 more than a year ago, says Statistics Finland.
Takala has decades of experience in painting and tiling. He considers himself a skilled employee.
He has a lot to say to the government.
Most of all, Takala wonders why the unemployed people are being mocked. Youth unemployment is more weighted by your fate.
– It should be returned to what it was in my time. Young people are taken to work, taught and instructed on the site. Taught at the age of 16 on site. With this, there will be no factors if you can’t get there.
Takala still remembers the painting entrepreneur who taught him to work at the age of 16. When you come across the street, you are still hugged.
Where did employment work disappear?
The government has stagged earnings -related unemployment insurance and removed the $ 300 component of unemployment support. Takala has fallen from the earnings -related Kela’s unemployment allowance.
– I would have to get employed if you are going to have a home to keep yourself. The boy was completed in the spring, so we have two unnecessarily pledges at home, Takala says.
Government decisions are reflected in everyday life. Money is not enough. The work also came with sociality.
– This has been very decisive. I am very sorry because for decades I have paid unemployment insurance to myself.
Pauliina Takala also wonders where employment work disappeared. Takala lives in a house that was once built by the unemployed.
A change and migration in mind
There would be enough work and working capacity at the back of the fifties. He has had time to see the recession of the 90s and have a decades of working career.
-I graduated at the turn of the 90s recession. Then I was always able to work for half a year. The views were much better than at the moment.
In the family of two unemployed people, hope has not yet been thrown. According to Takala, it is depressing to think that unemployment is not about itself. He has considered studying, changing and moving out.
– I have been trying hard to think about what’s wrong here. This is not my homeland at the moment that I am used to. I’ve had to mourn this.
