Only a small specific group of immigrants are good for Finland, whereas an even larger part is a massive burden.
Who benefits from writing these misleading studies?

ok, I am foreigner but I must be critical here. If I were in the governments or even voters, I would not look for just “a better-than-average population” immigrants. It needs to compare the stats in urban areas (where ppl flocks to), in individual fields too, refugees vs work-based.
Obviously more detailed data is needed, but it sounds as is a bit shallow to battle some rhetoric.

I am all in for immigration, but the study is done weirdly. It speaks of benefits of immigrants to the country, but for the cost and benefit analysis it has not actually studied source of immigrancy or nationality, but language spoken.
Amazing. Lets get a million somalis to Finland as the study says we’ll only benefit from it!

You’re on a slippery slope to racism.
“Immigrant” is a broad term – stretching from humanitarian immigrant from a war-torn nation delivering food, to a PhD leading an AI startup. And averages mean nothing.
Immigration isn’t an issue when there is an individual net-positive contribution, which is generally rare. It is an issue when it negatively impacts culture, is divisive and consumes more than it creates.
Break it down by education level, country of origin and reason for immigration and you’ll soon discover the problem which will help you with a solution.
