Answer:
1)Finland is Europe's most homogenous society, a nation of mostly blond ethnic Finns whose declining birthrate creates the classic 21st-century European dilemma: a fast-growing population of senior citizens whose promised benefits under a generous welfare state will soon be unaffordable.
To compensate for fewer Finnish births, the country could encourage foreigners to immigrate, a subject much discussed here. But like most of Europe, "Finland is allergic to immigration", in the words of Manuel Castells, the renowned Spanish-born sociologist who lives in the United States.
Castells, a professor at the University of Southern California and a student of Finland since the 1990s, chided Finns at a recent seminar in Helsinki. "Either you make more babies," he told them, "or you make immigrants."
But that is easier said than done, as Castells quickly acknowledged. Finnish women, enjoying careers and other fruits of the relative gender equality here, "are on strike", he said, when it comes to bearing children in large numbers. As a result, Finland is "a small country with an endangered culture".
Altogether immigrants constitute barely 2% of Finland's population of 5.2 million. There were 108,346 foreign-born residents at the end of 2004, according to government statistics. Of those, fewer than 25,000 were born in non-white countries whose residents would look conspicuous on the streets of Helsinki. Russians, Estonians and Swedes together represent more than 46,000 people.
