Only far left wants minimum wage in Finland

Feb 07, 2015 Finland is one of the Nordic countries which has not had a public debate about a minimum wage.

The minimum wage — fit for the Nordic region?

Feb 07, 2015 While Nordic trade unions consider a minimum wage to be a catastrophe, employees in many other EU countries see it as protection against social dumping.

Mar 04, 2016 Sweden’s feminist government wants to use its foreign policy to promote women’s and girl's rights, representation and resources based on the reality in which they live.

Gender equality in war and peace

Mar 04, 2016 Positions of power are still being conquered for the first time by Nordic women; Denmark has got its first female head of the confederation of trade unions.
