In the spring, the Finnish government proposed a cost-cutting plan that, among other things, would end the national pension for Finns living abroad. Pensions in Finland consist of three components: the national pension, the labor pension, and the so-called insurance pension (takuueläke), which is supposed to provide a minimum pension of 967 euros together with the national pension.
