History[edit]
In 1971 around 100 Pakistanis came to Finland for jobs. Finland didn't want cheap labour so they turned them all down.[2] As of the 31st December 2018 there are 3,736 people of Pakistani background living in Finland, 3,065 of these people are born in Pakistan.[3]
Society[edit]
A Pakistani man in Vantaa was stabbed by three Finns. The police does not think that it was a racist attack.[4]
