In spring 2020, the Prime Minister’s Office launched a project that aimed to examine the causes of the current demographic situation in Finland and make policy recommendations to ensure sustainable demographic development. Research Professor Anna Rotkirch was the principal investigator of the project. The project was supported by a steering group consisting of the State Secretaries of the parties in Government led by State Secretary Olli Koski and by an independent scientific panel on population policy chaired by Professor Marja Jylhä.

State Secretary Koski, Principal Investigator Rotkirch and Professor Jylhä will participate in the panel discussion, along with other representatives from the scientific panel on population policy. The discussion will be moderated by Senior Specialist Risto Alatarvas from the Prime Minister's Office.
