| Tiivistelmä: | The Finnish open university system has expanded during the last few years because of measures undertaken in connection with recent social and economic policies in Finland. The abolition of the requirement that students must be at least 25 years of age changed significantly the structure of the open university student population. Nowadays more than a third of open university students are young adults aged 18-25. The paper focuses on the background and life situation of these young adults and on the significance of the open university for their career perspective formation as a testing arena. |
