Survey on Well-Being among Foreign Born Population (FinMonik)

The FinMonik Survey was implemented by The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). The survey includes reliable information about the well-being and health, working ability and functional capacity, service use and experiences of foreign population. Information about employment and possible barriers to finding work as well as possible experiences of discrimination were also collected.

This information can help in promoting the working ability and functional capacity of the foreign population as well as developing health and social services.  The sample of the survey was 13 650 subjects.

The information is needed for health and welfare promotion, the improvement of services and monitoring integration. The survey was carried out in the years 2018-2019. 

The study was funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, the EU's Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and the City of Espoo.
