Poverty line in Finland

News: A few years ago, some 600,000 people in Finland could be defined as poor. Now the number stands at over 700,000.

This probably raises the very interesting question, who are poor in Finland?

The poverty line in Finland is not officially defined. But Jouko Karjalainen, a researcher at the National Institute for Health and Welfare, says those who earn less than 1,100 euros a month, or 13,000 euros a year, could be considered poor.

FYI, 1,100 euros a month will be around 1 lakh taka per month.
