Future Finland

A multidisciplinary dataset will be collected from the cohort over time. By enabling the long-term analysis of this data, we aim to enhance the well-being of future generations and contribute to the sustainable development of society over the next hundred years.

The data resource of Future Finland consists of two parts:

• Register data from the national registers
• In-depth data collection from families who have given their consent, including questionnaires on well-being and biological samples collected in healthcare settings.

The Future Finland dataset will serve as a foundation for multidisciplinary research, generating valuable insights into children’s and families’ well-being, their living environments, and broader societal dynamics and transformations.

Future Finland offers a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of Finnish society and shape it for future generations. It supports evidence-based decision-making and the development of services that more effectively respond to the needs of children and families.

Future Finland is funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation (SKR) and implemented by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).
