In northern part of Sweden there are large-scale investments in mining and basic industries, within LKAB as well Boliden, Vattenfall and Northland Resources. Those investments together with a major alternation of generations as well as increased demands of knowledge make maintenance of labour force and competence extremely important for the region in the future.
In Finland more than ever far-reaching plans for mining and some of these plans are comprehensive even compared in an international point of view. A major need for labour will arise by different reasons: major pensioning, new staff is needed for new investments as well as it lack of competent labour even in other countries and that there are a certain emigration from Finland.
