Tiivistelmä
The aim of this study is to analyse whether or not people are in
consensus on what the necessities of life are in Finland. Consensus is
analysed through two criteria: a public oriented view on the necessities
and agreement between individuals. The study utilises a Finnish postal
survey
from 2015 where people were asked about the necessity of 23 items. The
results suggest that individual views are shaped by personal
circumstances and a fully public-oriented view cannot be established.
Further, the respondents did not seem to agree on what are necessities.
This implies that
the minimum living standard could not be established consensually.
