Marin, 34, will have a finance minister two years her junior in a cabinet of 12 women and seven men.
Finland’s new prime minister - about to become the world’s youngest serving premier - will have a finance minister two years her junior in a new women-led coalition cabinet, party officials said on Monday.
The five parties in power - four of them led by women - decided to stay in coalition and continue with the same programmes, but said there would be a reshuffle. Political scientist Jenni Karimaki of Turku University said the new government reflected what voters had wanted in last April’s election, with many new young women and men voted into parliament.
Marin, who has spoken about growing up in a disadvantaged family, is a left-winger within her party and a strong defender of Finland’s generous welfare state. The Centre Party’s Kulmuni , who previously held the more junior position of Minister of Economic Affairs, replaces Mika Lintila as finance minister. She took over as the head of the Centre Party from ex-prime minister Juha Sipila in September.
