The survey collected data about the wellbeing and health, working ability and functional capacity, service use and experiences of immigrants in Finland. The study indicates that among the foreign-born population, immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East face more problems, including loneliness or depression. To improve the well-beings of immigrants living in Finland, "the thresholds for seeking treatment and access to basic services should be lowered. The Welfare Survey of Foreign Borns (FinMonik 2018-2019) is the largest survey so far, targeting the foreign-born population living in Finland, said THL.
