We studied how individuals’ ethnolinguistic affiliation relates to the ethnolinguistic structure of kinship in contemporary Finland, a society in which Finnish-speaking and Swedish-speaking ethnolinguistic groups have coexisted for centuries and mixed marital unions are common. Using multigenerational data from the population register, we determine...
Education plays a key role in ethical development, and worldview education emphasizes ethical questions. Ethical discussions within education about the treatment of non-human animals are urgently needed. In Finland, worldview education is a compulsory subject, introduced to students from the first year of school. In this study, we turn to Finnish e...
Using Finnish register data, this study assesses the role of cultural proximity in international migration.

However, in part due to data constraints, it is difficult to study migration motives, integration and return migration together. Using linked Finnish and Swedish register data covering the period 1988–2005...
In this article the dynamics of annual variability of tree ring width and climate signal of uneven-age Scotch pine trees from northern Finland were compared. Although the dynamic of tree ring width is similar at trees, the climate response of old-tree chronology has more pronounced relationships with July temperature than young-tree chronology. / В...
