As of 2022, there were approximately 96,808 intercultural families* in Finland. Of these, 86,808 are families where one of the parents was born in Finland and the other was born abroad. Additionally, there are about 10,000 families where both parents were born abroad, albeit in different countries.
The number of intercultural families in Finland has grown significantly, 3.3 times in the past 20 years, from 25,661 in 1992 to 84,976 in 2021 (numbers refer only to families where one spouse was born in Finland).
As of 2020, 35,345 intercultural families lived in the Finnish capital region. This number is more than double of intercultural families who lived in the seven other largest cities in Finland combined.
As of 2020, there were 152,563 young people under the age of 30 in Finland who were born into multicultural families. Almost three-quarters of these were under the age of 18.
As of 2020, 14,760 intercultural families living in the Finnish capital region had children. This number is, again, more than double of intercultural families with children in the seven other largest cities in Finland combined.
In 2020 alone, over 2,300 children were born to intercultural families in the Finnish capital region.

* Intercultural families as a term refers to families in which at least one family member has a different cultural background. In the case of all the data presented here, intercultural families are defined as families where the parents were born in different countries.
