Researcher, Research Unit

Presentation

I focus especially on register-based research that relates to basic social assistance and income security benefits. I have contributed e.g. to the adequacy assessment of basic social security and the preparation of the social security reform in addition to studying the relationship between basic social security and last-resort social security and transitions between them. I am also currently working on a dissertation on the role of social assistance in the early 2020s social welfare state for the Department of Social and Public Policy at the University of Eastern Finland.
