small municipalities being forced to merge with
larger ones, people in the Finnish countryside are concerned about the fate of these events, with mergers usually sounding the death knell for cultural activities in rural
villages while the municipal centres attract all the cultural events. The general
view was that, in certain areas of the country, response
times when children are in
need of help is too long.
Earlier in July, the Regional
State Administrative Agency
put the south-western town
of Salo on notice for legal violations regarding its child
welfare services. He
has served as a member of parliament for the Centre Party (previously Agrarian League) for ten years. The agency
took the action after delays in
handling cases and substandard levels of staff employed.
A number of municipalities that are suffering due to
the economic downturn have
had to endure child welfare
spending cuts. While the new main library in Helsinki
is being built with public funding, the rest of the country
foots the bill with schools suffering from mould, libraries
being closed down and services getting cut.

lives above its means, importing more than it exports.
If the countryside did not help support the army of government of?cials and businessmen, the city would be
in the throes of poverty.
IN THE future, the map of Finland must be turned upside down. The countryside will be the engine for Finland?s economic upturn, being the supplier of nature?s

In the years of agricultural surplus in Europe and the
US, farmers embraced the

the countryside into an outdoor museum for wolves to

put a stop to keeping livestock and also views the renewal of forests as harmful to nature. Looking at the ?gures for export and
import, it is easy to see that, apart from cities, all the
regions export more products than they import, meaning they have a greener lifestyle. A ?rm may manufacture

?THERE are serious concerns
about the standard of local

survey. Therefore, local governments have found

First Nokia, and then Rovio with Angry Birds placed Finland on the map as a technology hub.
Finland:
a wireless country
The success of the Finnish mobile gaming industry
has been the result, at least
to some extent, of the diffusion of the Internet across
the country.
Many mobile games require a Web connection and
this is where wireless broadband connections come in.
Now a common feature almost in every Finnish home,
they give users the chance to
access all sorts of games and
other apps.
At present, Finland is the
country with the most wireless broadband connections
