38.4 actual weekly working hours in the main job in 2025, among the longest in the EU. Time abundance is assessed through paid work, informal work, unpaid care, commuting and administrative burden rather than output or employment alone.

Housing-cost overburden in 2024 was about 4% in cities and 8% in rural areas; 18% could not keep homes adequately warm. Housing is judged on adequacy, affordability, resilience, security and ordinary household reach rather than construction volume alone.

25.8% were at risk of poverty or social exclusion in 2024; the worker audit kept current food affordability evidence separate from older protein-meal deprivation data. Food production and market supply are separated from household affordability, diet quality, nutrition security and dependable public/free nourishment routes.

The worker audit found off-grid drinking-water and sanitation gaps alongside surface-water ecological pressure, despite broad network coverage. Water and sanitation are judged on safe household reach, continuity, quality, rural/urban distribution and affordability rather than infrastructure announcements alone.

Q2 2025 domestic electricity generation supplied more than 90% of demand and nearly three-quarters of local generation was renewable; continental synchronization completed in 2025. Energy is judged on connection, reliability, affordability and household capability rather than generation or export capacity alone.

The 2026 country review records high life expectancy alongside elevated out-of-pocket spending and geographic workforce shortages that still constrain access. Health abundance is judged on actual care reach, financial protection, geographic access and service reliability rather than legal entitlement alone.

Pre-primary participation reached 97.9% in 2024; the worker audit kept broader learning-outcome questions open rather than inferring them from participation. Education is judged on real learning, access, completion, inclusion and human capability rather than enrolment alone.

Remote-area public transport remains weaker and the worker audit retained road-injury evidence as a material reach/safety friction. Mobility is judged on safe, affordable reach to daily life, public transport, roads and geographic inclusion rather than infrastructure length alone.

A childcare compensatory benefit was implemented in 2025, but early take-up evidence shows targeted rather than universal reach. Family stability is judged on whether housing, care, income, childcare and public systems reduce burdens on family formation and child continuity.

Extensive agricultural, rural and forest land exists, but the worker audit did not infer household land access or tenure freedom without a fresh nationwide measure. Land abundance is judged on practical access, tenure, productive/open space and the ability of ordinary households to use space without prohibitive financial barriers.

Forests, lakes, rivers and the Baltic coast create strong physical capacity for restoration and public life while winter and regional-security pressures remain contradictory context. This category considers safety, environmental quality, public space, cultural/natural beauty and whether daily life leaves room for restoration and delight.

A national nature-restoration plan is being prepared and biodiversity commitments are substantial, but policy targets are not treated as completed restoration. Living ground is judged on biodiversity, ecological condition, climate resilience, water/soil systems and demonstrated restoration rather than plans alone.

The worker audit did not secure a complete fresh national crime table and therefore retained road safety and regional-risk evidence without making a blanket safety claim. Justice is judged on safety, legal access, administrative friction, accessibility and whether ordinary people can resolve problems without prohibitive cost or delay.

Separate bio-waste requirements began in 2024 and recycling infrastructure funding is active; a complete current national material-recovery ledger remains open. Durability is judged on repair, reuse, waste collection, recycling/material return and whether circular systems actually reach daily life.
