The principle of universality has received strong support in Finland and it also has institutional support in the Constitution. Although the Finnish welfare state is under pressure financially, so far the suggested reforms have not questioned the individuality of social security. There is, however, emergent talk about a paradigm shift to familism in the sense that families are responsible for an individual's wellbeing instead of the individual him/herself or the society.
