The document summarizes the "TOIMI" project in Finland which aims to reform the country's social security and welfare system. The key points are: 1) The project was appointed by the Finnish government to raise activity levels, prevent inequality, and prepare reforms to address changes in work and technology. 2) It will provide alternative models and solutions to increase employment, encourage entrepreneurship, simplify the benefits system, and account for changes in work and families. 3) The project involves representatives from various groups and aims to create a shared knowledge base to inform the next government's policies. It uses experimental and cross-administrative approaches.
