Mind the gender gap – and why leap over it
Why do I want to see more women in the field of technology, a field that researchers like me have found to favour men? It's not because misery loves company but because in tech the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Finland's economy and security of supply rely on foreign experts
"There is a growing need for immigrants and foreign skilled workers. The technology industry plays a key role in, for example, the development of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. These fields are already dependent on international experts. When the economy turns upward, this shortage of skilled workers will only deepen," write TEK's Owain Hopeaketo and Barona's Elina Santalahti in today's Vieraskynä in Helsingin Sanomat.

Labore study: Doctors reach high salaries, but slower than before
According to a recent study, people with doctoral degrees still have higher salaries than those with a lower-level degree. However, the labour market has cooled off significantly for doctors since the early 2000s. This can be seen in, for example, slower postdoctoral salary trends and slower salary trends than people with master’s degrees.

How people in technology workplaces think about parental leaves
Parents with young children are familiar with the parental leave reform, and they feel that it contributes to a more even distribution of family leave between parents. Those working in the field of technology feel that the employers’ attitudes are supportive of families, and that the use of family leave is mostly welcomed in the workplace. For example, more than 90% of parents of children under school age think that their employer offers sufficient support for reconciling work and family life. On the other hand, there is a fair amount of uncertainty around family leave, and some parents with young children feel that the use of family leave may pose a threat to their career development.
