Background & Purpose

During the autumn of 2025, the opposition submitted many proposals to improve social security systems for groups like students and entrepreneurs. The parliament chose not to act on these now, as they are waiting for the results of ongoing official investigations.

The Decision

The parliament voted to reject all 162 proposals, meaning that the current rules for social insurance remain unchanged for now.

Does this affect you?

  • Entrepreneurs: They will not see any immediate changes to their social security coverage or benefits as a result of these motions.
  • Students: The current social insurance rules for students remain in place without any new adjustments.
  • Sickness benefit recipients: The rules regarding rehabilitation and sickness benefits continue to apply as they did before the vote.

In Practice

  • No new laws or changes to social insurance benefits were introduced.
  • The current systems for sickness and activity compensation remain exactly as they are today.
  • The parliament is waiting for the government's ongoing investigations to be completed before considering any potential changes.
  • Individuals and businesses should continue to follow existing regulations.
