Unemployment is a phase of life, not a characteristic
With working lives becoming longer, unemployment is unfortunately affecting many people today. Nevertheless, unemployment is still too easily seen as a personal characteristic rather than a temporary phase of life, writes Ilona Kangas, Chief of Communications and Customer Relations at YTK.
The daily search for work, developing skills, and coping with uncertainty require tremendous perseverance. Unemployment can be the most demanding period of your entire career, demonstrating above all your tenacity, determination, and belief in the future.

Unemployment figures tell two stories – what is going on?
Over the past year, the unemployment situation has been worrying. Unemployment has risen, the number of people in employment has fallen, and there are fewer job vacancies than there have been for a long time. At the same time, however, YTK Unemployment Fund’s own figures tell a different story: the number of applications, recipients and benefits has been declining.
