in the care of their grandchildren, according to a study
covering two generations
where Finnish baby boomers who were born between
1945?1950 and their children,
who are now around 36 years

In the second part of the
study, which was completed last year, more respondents than before were of the
opinion that it is the duty
of grandparents to care for
their grandchildren. he says.
People?s attitude towards providing help has also changed over the course of

It was observed that practical help is most often given by
the younger generation to the
older one. This estimate is
based on data collected by a
research project called Sukupolvien ketju in 2012 where
it was calculated how much
child care assistance one
grandparent gave on average.
The hourly price given for
child care when estimating
the value was 30 euro, which
is the average price charged
by companies doing business
in the child care sector.
Tanskanen, who was a researcher on this project, says
that the calculations were
kept reasonable in terms of
the value and amount of help
given.
?People most likely provide
more child care assistance
than estimated,. We discussed
it within the group and decided that, given the situation it was the best step to
take,. says the
coordinator of the research
project, Mirkka Danielsson.
Researcher Hans Hämäläinen says that he was surprised to ?nd out that those
respondents who had at least
one living parent and at least
one grandchild provided more
assistance in child care than
assistance in the care of their
own parents.
?The parents of these baby boomers are in average
89 years of age, which means
that most of them probably
would need some help.?

assistance from men

friends, i.e. Saastamoinen was on

The researcher says that
keeping the family close-knit
seems to have become the
obligation of women.
?Women keep in touch
with relatives and friends,
including the relatives of
their husbands. she explains.
Most baby boomers are at
the receiving end of practical
assistance, however, more
baby boomers get practical
assistance from their children than give such assistance to their children.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Hate speech has been increasing in Europe and Finland. With the
team also ruling out an ejector seat failure, the grounding order for Hawk jets was
lifted on Friday. Advocacy organisations for LGBT
families argue that the reform
would only concern some of
the female same-sex couples.
?The goal is that the parenthood of a lesbian couple?s
child is con?rmed in the same
way as for heterosexual couples,. A Ministry of Justice
working group has put forward a proposal under which
a father could acknowledge
paternity already before birth
during a routine maternity check-up. Minister of Justice Anna-Maja
Henriksson (Swedish People?s Party) says the reform would be a
practical solution.
Female couples
still in unequal position
In a report published in connection with the proposal, the
working group also explored
the ways of determining maternity, considering it possible that the legislative reform
could improve the situation of
female same-sex couples having a child together.
Currently, the only way for
the mother?s female partner
to be of?cially recognised as
the child?s parent is through
an adoption process within the family. he
stated. Markku Helin, the chair
of the working group, says that
work on the issue will continue based on the feedback.
?It is a dif?cult issue to
solve also because there are
international projects underway concerning this, but
they?ve only just got off the
ground,. The working group proposals can be read and commented
on, on the Ministry of Justice website: www.om.fi. I?ve heard that
some couples have been asked
some pretty personal questions,. The mother could no longer deny the determination of paternity but would not be required to help in the process.
. According to
Rehn, Finland?s standing has
deteriorated considerably in
recent years. explains Railevirta.
During the 15-minute
meeting, the of?cial explained
what the acknowledgement of
paternity involves after which
the relevant documents were
signed.
Railevirta considers it
sensible to have the opportunity to take care of the
acknowledgement of paternity already during pregnancy when visiting a maternity
clinic, having several unmarried couples with children
among her circle of friends.
?Quite a few of the couples have tied the knot when
their ?rst child was christened,. Online anonymity is suspected to be one of the main causes of the increase.
Do you think that discussion forums should force
participants to use their real names?

One of the problems surrounding the issue that is
being looked into at an international level is the exploitation of surrogate mothers.
Surrogacy is forbidden in
Finland but each year a small
number of Finnish couples
become parents through a
surrogacy process abroad.
?Sounds like a
practical solution?
Jenni Railevirta and Jari
Näveri, a couple with two children, will soon make their second trip to the child welfare
supervisor?s of?ce for the acknowledgement of paternity.
The family living in Töölö, in
Helsinki, already visited the of?ce in Kallio a couple of years
ago after the birth of their ?rst
son Erik. ?The trend in Finnish national debt is very
alarming, [?] and swift
measures are needed to address it,. According to
the report, maternity could
be con?rmed by an assumption or acknowledgement if
the pregnancy got started at
an infertility clinic, the mother?s partner had given a written consent for the treatment
and the sperm donor cannot
be con?rmed as the father. S T T

Economic Affairs Jan Vapaavuori (NCP) reminded that the state can only

the moment state ownership
is handled by Minister of Development as a side job. This is much easier said than done, but Finnair is in a unique situation
that actually gives us a great opportunity. Instead, these pension expenses would act as a

Besides Finland and Germany, Luxembourg and
Holland are the only other
countries to boast the coveted AAA rating from all three
major agencies with Finland
being the only one to have a
stable rating outlook.
Speaking on the MTV3

Finland was closer to being
downgraded than ever before. She ?rst brought
up the topic in an interview

NOTE this is simply an accounting procedure. Urpilainen argued that
discussions with the ratings
agencies had not given any
reason to think that Finland?s
AAA rating was at risk but
emphasised the importance
of carrying out the government?s structural reforms.
Borrowing
costs increasing
Finland?s national debt has
spiralled during the recession
and the ?nancial crisis, making the government?s ability to create fertile ground
for economic growth the key
question. But I think there might be a way
out of this situation so the suppurating sore is ?nally
healed.
Mikko Spolander, a senior financial adviser from the Ministry
of Finance, says that, if it was not for the AAA ratings, Finland
would be paying higher interest on its loans.. Instead of contributing to the national pension system, workers would
temporarily use their payments to purchase shares of
the company in a retirement plan.
THE NET result would be profound. Before this, there
should be thorough discussion on guidelines for the extent of the state involvement
in companies. Urpilainen told STT. Mikko Spolander, a
senior ?nancial adviser from
the Ministry of Finance, says
that, if it was not for the AAA
ratings, Finland would be
paying higher interest on its

?Being labelled a ?nancially stable country guarantees that borrowing costs
that fall on tax payers to pay

is to have work-life stability and maximise their pay.
Since the two goals are often in exact opposition, there
is an adversarial relationship between the two groups.
This exists in all companies to some extent, but it is especially apparent in those ?rms which are struggling.
THE PROBLEM
to bring the goals of the two groups together wouldn?t solve Finnair?s business problems, but it
would help resolve the labour issues. The workers. After the last of
the stake in Finnair had moved to the employees. Too often this results in a strike which hurts
both parties as well as innocent passengers, like what

much smoother at Finnair.
AUTUMN has been
gloomy for the Finnish economy with national debt continuing to spiral, yet the
con?dence in the Finnish
government?s ability to pay
off its debts remains strong.
The ratings agency Standard & Poor?s reaf?rmed Finland?s AAA top credit rating
in October, following in the
footsteps of the other two
heavyweight credit rating
agencies, Moody?s and Fitch.
The agencies assess the risks
that may in?uence a country?s ability to pay its debts,
with a downgrade leading to
the country having to pay a
higher interest rate on the
money it borrows.
Finance Minister Jutta

about the con?dence in the

Urpilainen told STT that
one of the reasons for her
proposal was the amount of
work involved in ownership
steering.
?Overseeing ownership
policy is extensive and timeconsuming, making it dif?cult to do the job properly if
there are many other tasks
to take care of.?
Urpilainen said that the
Cabinet Finance Committee
should play a bigger role in
the state ownership steering,
proposing that the responsible minister should present matters more often to the
committee for handling in order to achieve more extensive
support for the decisions. says Urpilainen.
Borrowing costs inevitably go up when debt increases. Finnair
wouldn?t have any different expenses and the workers
wouldn?t have any changes in pay. In her view,
the top ratings by the major
agencies give a stamp of approval on the government?s
?scal policy and de?cit-cutting plans.
?At the same time, their
assessments re?ect the concerns over the structural
changes in the industry and
the detrimental effect these
may have on growth potential. The ratings agencies. statements re?ect the

Ottavainen says that the
number of large industrial
companies pulling out came
as a surprise, adding that the
times are tough for the industrial sector, which affects
the companies. Coaxing smiles out of Finns can be a two-hour
task, unless you have some good stories. Americans, proud of their company?s success or even country, may innocently indulge in laudatory statements that the Finn sees as outright boasting.
American businesspeople enter a meeting with a broad

NIINA WOOLLE Y . Finnish women

Ottavainen.
For energy companies, the
construction of a nuclear power plant is particularly important because when they have to
buy electricity at high market
prices, pro?t margins remain
small. American managers who pop their head around a Finnish assistant?s door with remarks like ?Say Paavo, I?ve just had
a great idea. Finns, while
valuing frank discussion, are careful about revealing their soul. In the United States
time is money, and the American wishes to get the deal
done in the shortest time possible. Americans are talkative and persuasive.
Finns are reticent, often silent, and trained not to force
their opinions on others. Finnish workers or clerical staff
do not like being monitored, followed around, interfered
with, or even praised when they are doing the job. This breaks a sacred rule
for a Finn, who is taught from infancy not to interrupt.
AMERICAN persuasiveness often leads to hyperbole,
again with the best of intentions (where the American
is trying to show the desirability of the deal). but Finnish men, particularly, hate disturbance once the directive has been properly
issued. Finns,
by nature, are essentially patient and trained to curb
aggressiveness, even open displays of feeling.
AMERICANS see nothing wrong with extroversion; they
are open, frank, and have nothing to hide. they maintain an inquiring stance
when contemplating the workings of the mind of the foreigner, especially males . Humor
can play an important part in cementing empathy.
WHILE many traits are similar, there are, however, con-
siderable differences as well. The shareholders
deciding against the project
included several companies
operating in the industrial
sector, such as Boliden, Componenta, AGA and Ovako.
S Group and Atria had already pulled out of the project earlier.

VIEWPOINT
Richard D. Lewis
Richard Donald Lewis is a British linguist, cross-cultural communication consultant and author. Finns ?nd both
American and Japanese smiles insincere.
AMERICANS and Finns differ in their approach to supervision in the workplace. I think
we can make a ?nal decision
with what we have here.?
Fennovoima is aiming to
complete the talks with Rosatom by the end of the year.
The companies who remain
as partners in the project
have given a conditional consent with the ?nal decision
depending on the results of
the negotiations.
Ottavainen considers it
important that the majority
of shares remain in Finnish
ownership, even though at
just over 50 per cent this majority is very narrow. In terms of communication, egalitarianism may dominate, but Finns are much
more introverted than Americans. Informality of discourse, egalitarian address, and a minimum
of protocol typify Finnish/American meetings. This leads him to be
frequently impatient, occasionally aggressive. His company, Richard
Lewis Communications, provides cross-cultural communication training, as well as language training for international executives.
Is there a culture gap between Finland and the United
States. Americans ?nd their own frankness, selfreliance and tenacity mirrored in the Finnish psyche.
Finns, like Americans, believe that all are created equal;
any form of snobbery or pulling rank is abhorrent. Shareholders
have to decide now if 85 per
cent of the shares is enough
or whether a unanimous decision will be required.
?I?m sure that we can
make even big decisions with
this kind of majority. Electricity supplied buy a
nuclear power plant at the cost
price would be more than welcome to them.. If they disagree, they will often remain silent. decision.

head chef Heikki Liekola, run
the kitchen together and create new dishes at least six
times a year, updating their
menu according to the current season and their own
ingenuity.
Sam, a Finn through and
through, travels the world
looking for inspiration and
staying true to his roots and
transforms international cuisine in his own Scandinavian
way.
After his culinary studies in 1996, Sam travelled to
Norway, England and Sweden
and was mentored by several celebrities in the culinary
world, such as Hans Välimäki, Finnish chef and currently
sub-chef for the popular show
Top Chef Finland; Swedish
chef and restaurateur Christer Lingström and the very
well-known Master Chef?s
judge Gordon Ramsey, but the
highlight of his culinary experience was a three-month
internship at Les Ambassadeurs, a ?rst-class restaurant
in the heart of Paris.
Back in Finland, Sam, together with Janek Bjurström
and Pekka Satinen owned
Restaurant Alia in Mustikkamaa and Restaurant Kokkola in Linnanmäki, until
one day, they decided to sell
it all in order to buy Postres
(which in 2008 was granted a
Michelin Star and recognised
restaurant of the year.)

In 2011, Google Chrome partnered with Movember to
create a video, the California-based shoe company

the movement by painting a

Even though doing good is the
main goal behind the whole
Movember concept, fun is a
key ingredient of its success.
?I have had calls from men
telling that their kids or wife
had never seen them completely shaved but now, because someone close to them
has fallen ill with prostate
cancer, they want to participate to the Movember cause,?

the electric bass has been imitated by subsequent generations of funk, R&B, rock and
jazz bassists.
Known for his hugely in?uential bass playing, Graham Jr ?rst served as a
supporting musician with
the likes of John Lee Hooker, Jackie Wilson, Jimmy
Reed, and the Drifters. Here
visitors can enjoy the opportunity to read the electronic
publication Erkki Kurenniemi . The show also includes a range of DIMI digital
music instruments designed
by Kurenniemi.
Having donated a large
part of his extensive archives
to the Central Art Archive

Along with smash singles such as Dance to the Music and Everybody Is a Star,

While the minimalism
of his work initially greets
the viewer, before long the
complexity of the exchange
between artist and observer comes into focus, as his
works reveal their hidden
textures, suggesting people reacquaint themselves
with and question their

Works such as Sitting on

nary into the extraordinary,
as the dawn of a new realisation equips them with a fresh

Jeppe Hein . Designing and
building his ?rst electronic
instruments as early as the
late 1960s, Kurenniemi also
extensively recorded his life
and environment continually for years.
And so, the curious among
you can now descend upon
Kiasma to catch a glimpse of
his remarkable life. Ker-ching go the cash
registers,
scratch-scratch
go the heads of the uninitiated, yet acting fans will be
appeased by the none-tooshabby role call that includes
Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Stanley Tucci. Early
word has been strong.
Also arriving a couple of
days before the typical Friday release date, local ?ick
Salpa portrays the relationship between father and son.
With the son at a ripe age
where his opinions are in the
process of being formed, he
has to come to terms with a
father who is unable to give
him the love and warmth required to help him develop.
A couple of days later another local ?ick, Nuoren
Wertherin jäljillä, again explores the relationship between a father and son. This was the band?s
halcyon period, which saw
the release of such classic albums as Stand! and There?s a
Riot Goin. Keen to create a
visual platform for things
unseen by the naked eye,
Hein captures the rhythm of
breathing in Breathing Watercolours (2012) or more abstract ideas such as ?pictures
