The multidisciplinary FLUX consortium seeks evidence-based solutions for influencing and adapting to changes in fertility dynamics that accelerate population ageing. The overarching goal is to improve the social and economic sustainability of Finnish society. In the FLUX blog our researchers share interesting views based on their research results.

This blog is published by the FLUX consortium. In the blog, FLUX researchers open multidisciplinary  and research based views to family formation, fertility dynamics, social and economic sustainability and other themes researched in FLUX.

The blog includes posts in Finnish and in English. You can view the blog posts in Finnish by changing the site language to Finnish.
