Definition by a SHG member ”Mutual support means that kind of help and support that only people who have experienced similar kinds of life situations, can give to each other to cope with the situation – and no one else can give that kind of support.” Marianne Nylund 16.6.2011
Historical background • Mutual support and reciprocial help have long traditions in the Finnish social policy starting from the end of 1800s (Jaakkola 1996) • Ideas of mutualism came to Finland from Germany and United Kingdom • Working class people established mutual aid associations to create contingency funds to provide protection from social risks, such as sickness, burial and retirement • These insurance societies became part of the state pension and insurance systems in 1937 (the Pension Law) and 1963 (the Sickness Insurance).
