The National Youth Work and Youth Policy Programme for the years 2024-2027 offers a summarised version of the actual government programme’s objectives related to youth employment. The government’s youth policy outlines three main objectives and related measures to promote young people’s wellbeing: 1. providing preconditions for building a good life and a path forward, 2. supporting young people's mental health, 3. strengthening inclusion, communality and safety.

The programme strives, for example, to reduce the number of young people who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). This is achieved by ensuring a comprehensive initial assessment for those who have become unemployed, after which they receive individualised, employment-promoting services linked to specific obligations (Youth Wiki Finland 3.4 Career guidance and counselling). At the same time, sufficient services and personal encounters will be ensured. The current model of labour market support for unemployed persons will also be reformed. It is also important to note that the so-called reception capacity of working life (the inclusion and access of youth to the labour market) will be strengthened in accordance with the Government Programme.

As a structural change in Finland, the employment and economic development services will be transferred from the state to the municipalities on 1 January 2025. (See Youth Wiki/Finland 3.2 Administration and governance).
