Abstract	In recent years, the vocational education and training (VET) system in Finland has undergone major changes in the institutional and administrative structure, in the ownership of institutions and in the structure of vocational qualifications. The funding system of VET has been developed stepwise during the last decade. These steps have been closely connected with the strengthening of the position of local and institutional levels in the VET system. Thus, the funding models of VET have been developed as one part of the general funding system for municipalities, which are, in the main, responsible for the production of welfare services, including education, culture, health and social services. This publication charts and analyses VET funding in Finland in 1986, 1991 and 1996. It gives the figures on the level and distribution of VET expenditure and funding sources. The funding distribution system is depicted. As background information, the report describes the political, legislative and administrative framework for VET in Finland. The future perspectives for VET and its funding are also outlined. This analysis constitutes the Finnish contribution to CEDEFOP's series of VET financial portraits for EU Member States.
