The Confederation of Affiliates for Highly Educated People-Akava will offer unjustifiable fixed-term contracts to long-time unemployed persons, said the national broadcaster YLE.
Currently, fixed-term contracts are offered only for reasons like in case one is hired as a temporary replacement.
The basis for fixed-term employment could be set aside, so that the long-term unemployed would be employed, said Akava Director Maria Löfgren to Yle.
The temporary exemption would only apply to those unemployed for a year. The duration of the job should be at least 10 months.
According to Akava, the exemption is being planned in view of the economic situation.
