Workforce or future citizens? Attitudes towards migration need a breath of fresh air
The current discussion on migration does not serve the Finnish society and its future. Political decision-makers are often caught up in current political disputes and fail to look towards the future. That is why migrants are often reduced to a problem that should be solved or a resource that should be utilised.
