Psychological ill health

is not limited to working life. On the contrary, a great number of those suffering from psychological ill health are outside of the labour market.

According to fresh OECD figures, psychological ill health is a growing problem across the EU. Roughly 84 million EU citizens had some sort of psychological illness in 2015, according to the report Health at a Glance 2018.

Nearly 19 percent of the Finnish population suffered from mental health-related problems in 2016, which was the highest figure in the whole of the EU.
