Social Security Committee to continue its work to reform social security

The Government decided on 19 October 2023 to change the composition and duties of the Social Security Committee for the remainder of the Committee’s term.

During its second term, the Social Security Committee will look into special considerations that should be taken into account in developing social security. It will also monitor the preparations for launching universal credit. The Committee will examine combinations of social security benefits, the level of social security, whether benefits should be individual or family specific, and how well benefits and services respond to people’s different life situations.

The Committee includes Members of Parliament from all parliamentary groups as well as permanent experts.

Pasi Moisio, Research Professor from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, will continue as the chair of the Social Security Committee. 

The term of the Committee is from 23 March 2020 to 31 March 2027.
