Social welfare services: Greater satisfaction in Helsinki
The majority of citizens gave their support to a publicly run social welfare service system. In Helsinki, the rest of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and the rest of Finland, 70 per cent of respondents thought social welfare services work quite well in Finland. Women were clearly more critical, particularly so in Helsinki, where just over two-thirds of women trusted the functionality of the social welfare system compared with almost 80 per cent of men. Above all, citizens trusted the staff of the social welfare services. City of Helsinki Urban Facts's Quarterly Publication (.pdf, page 5)
