According to preliminary data of Statistics Finland statistics on local government productivity, the total productivity of education grew by 0.2 per cent and that of social work fell by 2.5 per cent.

Both output and total input of education grew some one per cent. Total productivity was therefore almost unchanged. Output of social work grew by more than one per cent but nearly four per cent growth in total input led to a clear fell in total productivity.
