Auf jeden Fall ist damit zum Teil ein unlauterer Wettbewerbsvorteil weggefallen, den die bundesdeutsche Industrie immer so beklagt: Die hier im Vergleich zu hier geringen Lohnnebenkosten durch Urlaub - und sei es nur statistisch ;) .sunny1011 schrieb am 09.07.2007 16:44

http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/artikkeli/H%C3 ... 5229832330Häirintä ja väkivalta tuttua akateemisilla aloilla
Viidennes akavalaisista työntekijöistä on kokenut syrjintää työyhteisössään viiden viime vuoden aikana, kertoo Akavan lokakuussa 2006 tekemä kysely. Luku merkitsee noin 50 000:ta kokopäivätyötä tekevää korkeasti koulutettua palkansaajaa.
Joka kuudes akavalainen ilmoitti kohdanneensa henkistä väkivaltaa jossain muodossa työpaikallaan, mikä vastaa noin 39 000:ta henkeä. Työväkivaltaa tai sen uhkaa kertoi kokeneensa noin 22 000 työntekijää vuoden aikana.
Akava muistuttaa turhista kustannuksista, joita kiusaamisen ja häirinnän aiheuttamat sairauspoissaolot, työkyvyttömyyseläkkeet tai muu ennenaikainen eläköityminen tuovat mukanaan.
Korkeakoulutettujen työmarkkinajärjestö haluaa myös herätellä keskustelua siitä, pitäisikö esimerkiksi opettajille tai sosiaalityöntekijöille säätää samanlainen ruumiillinen koskemattomuussuoja kuin poliisilla on.
Silloin väkivaltaisten asiakkaiden, potilaiden tai oppilaiden voitaisiin katsoa syyllistyneen virkavallan väkivaltaiseen vastustamiseen.
Suomi sijoittuu kärkeen tilastossa, johon on koottu kiusaamista ja häirintää kokeneiden työntekijöiden osuudet 27 Euroopan maassa vuonna 2005.
Muut pohjoismaat jäivät kauaksi kärjestä; Norja ja Ruotsi EU:n keskiarvon alapuolelle.
:thumbsu: YLEOECD: Finnish Education Highly Efficient
Education in Finland is top-notch. According to an annual report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the efficiency of Finland's education system is first-rate, despite lower than average spending on education when compared with other western countries.
Among other findings, the report states Finnish pupils continually achieve top marks on, for example, the Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA). This is despite the fact that they spend less time in the classroom than students in other OECD countries.
The number of Finnish youth studying is also particularly high. Nearly 90 percent of youth between the ages of 15 and 19 are full-time or part-time students.
However, Finland's working population is less educated than that of many other countries in the study.

http://www.yahoo.comCan't beat quality of life in Scandinavia, says world ranking Thu Sep 20, 11:18 AM ET
PARIS (AFP) - Nordic countries take the greatest care of their environment and their people, according to a ranking published on Thursday by the publication Reader's Digest.
Finland comes top of the 141-nation list, followed by Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and then Austria, Switzerland, Ireland and Australia.
At the bottom of the list is Ethiopia, preceded by Niger, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso and Chad.
The United States comes in 23rd, China 84th and India 104th.
The ranking combines environmental factors, such as air and water quality, respect for biodiversity and greenhouse-gas emissions, as well as social factors, such as gross domestic product, access to education, unemployment rate and life expectancy.
The statistical basis is the UN's Human Development Index and the Environmental Sustainability Index drawn up by Yale and Columbia universities and the World Economic Forum.
European countries -- again, led by Scandinavia -- also top the Reader's Digest assessment of 72 cities for their quality of life. The criteria for this include public transport, parks, air quality, rubbish recycling and the price of electricity.
The winner is Stockholm, followed by Oslo, Munich and Paris.
Asia's mega-cities fare the worst. At the bottom is Beijing, preceded by Shanghai, Mumbai, Guangzhou and Bangkok.

Electricity consumption grows - Sweden's is nearly unchanged
Finland has fallen far behind the other Nordic Countries in cutting back on greenhouse gas emissions.
Finland ranks 36th on the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), putting it on a par with Algeria and Belarus. Sweden is at the top of the list, and Denmark is in third place.
"Finland has settled for a place in the back row", says Professor Jyri Seppälä of the Finnish Environment Indstitute.
"Sweden and Norway have set tougher emission targets for themselves than are required by the EU and the Kyoto protocol. Finland's starting point is that the national interest requires as small reduction targets as possible", says MP Oras Tynkkynen (Green), the climate policy expert of the Finnish government.
Finland is dragging behind Sweden in areas such as saving energy, the implementation of methods of heating which reduce climate change, and the reduction of traffic volume.
"Temperatures inside residential buildings in the winter are the highest in Europe, even though the outside temperature is Europe's lowest", Jyri Seppälä says.
Half of household energy consumption is heating. Most homes are heated by electricity and oil.
There is little economic support for more environmentally friendly options. Because of this, Finland exports about 70 per cent of its wood pellet production - mainly to Sweden.
About 1.5 million tonnes of wood pellets are used for heating in Sweden each year. In Finland the figure is 100,000.
"This is stupid. We export renewable energy and import oil to replace it", says Reine Piippo, Executive Director of the Finnish Pellet Energy Association.
Piippo and Tynkkynen blame taxation.
"In Sweden the taxation of light fuel oil has been more than three times the level in Finland. Sweden has had the courage to make decisions on taxation that have not necessarily been popular", Tynkkynen says.
Finland is also increasing the taxation of fuel oil. However, even after the increase, the tax will be lower than it is in Sweden.
Sweden has also been more open-handed in supporting other environmentally-friendly heating methods.
"In Sweden the state supports the acquisition of heat pumps with investment subsidies", notes Jyri Seppälä, adding that the popularity of heat pumps has increased considerably. "It is possible to get a 30 per cent subsidy for setting up a pellet heating system for a new house. If electric hating is exchanged for district heating, the support is the same", he continues.
The subsidies are smaller in Finland. If an old house is connected to district, or regional heating, the state pays a ten per cent investment bonus. If a house converts to a heat pump system, or to pellet or wood heating, up to 15 per cent in subsidies is available.
Tynkkynen sees electricity consumption as Finland's biggest climate policy problem.
"In Sweden electricity consumption has remained stable for more than ten years, even though the economy and the population have grown as fast as in Finland. In Finland, electricity consumption has grown at the same pace as the economy has", Tynkkynen observes.
For energy consumption to come under control, Finland should increase the energy efficiency of its buildings. "Twenty years ago Finland had the toughest energy norms in the world. Now we are clearly behind the other Nordic Countries", Tynkkynen laments.
Tynkkynen and Seppälä feel that one reason for the "environment recession" is the myth that everything that is necessary has already been done. "We need to do things more and better. Politicians need to encourage people with subsidies, fees, and taxes", Seppälä says.
Das ist mir auch schon aufgefallen, dass die da oben immer wie irre heizen müssen, allerdings gilt das auch für Schweden und Norwegen, und vom Gefühl her würde ich da Norwegen an die Spitze setzen, zumindest ist Nordnorwegen hält man es in gewissen Einrichtungen (z. B. Sámiparlament, Sámi-Bibliothek, etc.) schier nicht aus. :rolleyes:sunny1011 schrieb am 03.10.2007 19:18
