Importanti riforme taglia gli aiuti abitative per migliaia di studenti finlandesi

I do have to say, it’s really odd for me (as a parent) to think of parents demanding rent from their kids in this economy. I understand she is an adult, but I would never force my daughter into this position. It’s even worse if the room she is renting is in their home already, which is something I thought only Americans do.

I do believe children learn the value of money more when they earn it themselves and don’t get everything they want, but a roof over their head is not a luxury.

I would love to hear differing opinions on this!

5000 of them are renting from their parents. Do the parents pay the rent and the students give the Kela housing money to the parents? Or do the parents actually own some property that their kid is renting?

Also, there’s a sentence about student should just get a job to cover the lost income from Kela… Which jobs? Maybe in Helsinki, Turku or Tampere it’s easier but anywhere else I’m not to sure.

Interesting reform that will just make it harder for kids to leave their parents home I guess.
