Pensions. Energy drinks. Farmers. Weather forecast.

Trust in pensions

First, news about pensions.

Finns’ trust in pensions is decreasing.

The Finnish Centre for Pensions (ETK) has again asked Finns what they think about pensions.

For example, people were asked whether they trust that their pension money will be enough for a good life in the future.

Fewer people believe in it now than before.

Many people fear that pensions will not be able to be paid in the future.

Finns’ trust in pensions is decreasing.

Sanna Tenhunen, an economist at the Finnish Centre for Pensions, says that the reason for the distrust is the difficult global situation and concerns about unemployment.

Age limit for energy drinks

Now for the news about energy drinks and young people.

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) proposes that the sale of energy drinks be prohibited to those under 18 years of age.

A new study shows that many young people are getting too much caffeine from energy drinks.

Many young people are also addicted to energy drinks.

Until now, THL has recommended an age limit of 15 years for drinks.

Research manager Susanna Raulio says that the recommendation has not helped, and young people are drinking energy drinks more than before.

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare wants to ban the sale of energy drinks to those under 18 years of age.

The shops hope for a common law on the matter.

Now only some stores comply with the recommended age limits.

Young farmers

Finally, news about young farmers.

Young farmers want to expand and develop their own farm.

75 percent of young farmers say they want to expand their farm.

This is what a new study says.

Young people want the work on the farm to continue in the future.

Markus Suutari runs an organic farm in Kouvola.

He says it’s difficult to predict the future because state agricultural policies can change.

“Farming is a long-term endeavor. It’s difficult that in politics there is always a risk of sudden, rapid changes.”

About 75 percent of young farmers want to expand their own farm.

Most young farmers are also studying further and developing their own skills.

Saturday weather

Still a weather forecast.

It will rain in southern and western Finland on Saturday.

There may also be a little rain in the north.

The temperature in rainy areas is 20 degrees.

The sun is shining in the east and the temperature is over 25 degrees.
