Moving from Finland

First, news about working life.

A lot of people who have studied at a university move out of Finland.

It is a problem for Finland, because Finland needs employees with a high level of education.

More than 15,000 people who have studied at a university move out of Finland every year. Half of them are foreigners.

Foreign students who move away usually do not return to Finland.

Researchers say that foreign students need to be given more help when they are looking for work. Companies also need to hire foreigners more boldly.

Obesity drugs

Then the news about obesity drugs.

New drugs treat obesity better and better.

The best obesity drugs can reduce a person’s weight by 20 percent per year.

According to researchers, there are more than a million obese people in Finland.

Obesity can cause many health problems. It costs Finnish healthcare more than one billion euros per year.

Pharmaceutical companies have spent a lot of money on developing obesity drugs.

New obesity drugs treat obesity better and better.

For example, an obese person may have too few hormones that give a feeling of satiety.

New drugs can increase the amount of these hormones. Then a person eats less.

Russians and war

Then news from Russia.

In Russia, people support the war in Ukraine less than before.

According to a new survey, 30 percent of Russians support the war.

40 percent of Russians want the war to end.

Many Russians think that the war is bad for the Russian economy.

A large majority of Russians still support Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Weather

Another weather forecast. It snows or sleet in the north and east.

The temperature is between +3 and -4 degrees throughout the country. It is colder in Lapland.
