Finland is one of Europe’s most sparsely populated countries inhabited by 17 persons per square kilometer. The population of Finland ages at this moment faster than in any other country in Europe. Fact: In Finland there live at this moment 150,000 foreign nationals. (The former nationality of) those immigrants that have become naturalized Finns cannot be found in population statistics; between 2006 and 2009 they were a total of about 18,000 and, taking into account the trend in immigration, we know that the figure has been smaller rather than larger in the past. Kristiina Kouros, published in Savon Sanomat
Suomi on yksi Euroopan harvimmin asutuista maista, asukastiheys on noin 17 ihmistä neliökilometrillä. Suomessa väestö ikääntyy tällä hetkellä nopeimmin koko Euroopassa. Faktaa: Suomessa asuu tällä hetkellä ulkomaan kansalaisia reilut 150 000. Suomen kansalaisuuden saaneita maahanmuuttajia ei vanhemmista väestötilastoista erota, mutta vuosien 2006-2009 välillä heitä oli yhteensä noin 18 000 ja ottaen huomioon maahanmuuttotrendit, tiedetään että tämä luku on aiemmin ollut ennemminkin pienempi kuin suurempi.

Hi Mateus, interesting link. The questions I have are the following: How many are we speaking of and when we attack such a small group of people aren’t we attacking our own values? Apart from not walking naked in public, I do have a right to dress as I please. Instead of embracing such women in our society we are effectively telling them to remain in their place. Our society offers options and we are the ones who decide on them not some politicians with a nervous eye on the election.
