We examine the impact of generative AI on the youth labor market in Finland by replicating the key analyses of Brynjolfsson et al. (2025) with comprehensive population-level data. Contrary to the US findings, we find no systematic displacement effects linked to AI exposure among youth in Finland. Employment trends reflect demographic shifts rather than AI-driven changes, with early career groups showing modest declines and senior workers experiencing growth. Wage trajectories show no persistent differences across AI exposure levels. These results suggest that Finland’s labor market is resilient to immediate AI-induced disruptions in entry-level roles, likely because of structural and policy factors.
