The study examined Finns' working lives and labour market position, as well as their experiences, attitudes, and concerns related to work, working conditions, and digitalisation. The data were collected using the 2025 questionnaire of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP). The data were collected as part of the Citizens' Opinion panel, which is part of The Finnish Research Infrastructure for Public Opinion (FIRIPO).
Respondents were asked how important they considered various job- and work-related characteristics, such as meaningful work, opportunities for advancement, and job security. In addition, questions covered working conditions, including work intensity, stress, working hours, remote work, and the balance between work and other areas of life.
The survey also collected information on the use of digital technologies at work, digital skills, skills development, and concerns about the impacts of technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence on jobs, one's own work, and employment opportunities. Labour market attitudes and societal views were measured through statements concerning, among other things, the role of trade unions, employment among older workers, the value of work, and willingness to make compromises regarding working conditions in order to gain employment or avoid unemployment. Furthermore, respondents' perceptions of their likelihood of finding employment and concerns related to financial security were assessed.
Background variables in the dataset include, among others, the respondent's gender, year of birth, education, labour market status, type of employment contract, monthly gross income, marital status, household size, number of children, area of residence, trade union membership, religiosity, societal position, and voting behaviour.
The sample was drawn from the Citizen Opinion Panel and restricted to panel members recruited through a probability-based sampling frame to ensure representativeness. The sample was divided into three groups. The main group received the full questionnaire at once, with reminders sent at one-week intervals. The second group received the questionnaire in two parts, with an invitation to the second part sent one week after the first invitation. The third group also received the questionnaire in two parts, but the invitation to the second part was sent three weeks after the first invitation. The total sample size was 6,622, comprising 3,312 respondents in the main group, 1,660 in the second group, and 1,650 in the third group. Data were collected using self-completion online questionnaires. Personal email invitations containing unique survey links were distributed via QuestionPro, a secure web-based survey platform.
