She said she discussed the Philippines readiness to be a partner in helping
alleviate the critical shortage of nurses and other healthcare professionals in
Finland.
Finland is widely expected to be one of the first European countries to
experience a demographic shock as an estimated 900,000 of its “baby boom”
generation reach retirement.
With insufficient birth rates to offset the country’s rapidly ageing population,
the ensuing decline in the working-age population is predicted to lead to
rising pensions and deteriorating healthcare services.
