Finland is set to appoint the world's youngest serving prime minister, breaking records and stereotypes for women and young people in politics.

Key points:

* Sanna Marin will become Finnish prime minister after the Social Democrats voted her into the party's leadership

* The majority of party leaders in Finland are now women

* Marin ascends at a time when strikes threaten to halt production at major Finnish companies

Transport and Communications Minister Sanna Marin, 34, was chosen by her party, the Social Democrats, as leader after the resignation of current Prime Minister Antti Rinne.

Already dubbed "Finland's answer to Jacinda Ardern .. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/12/meet-sanna-marin-finland-s-answer-to-jacinda-ardern.html ", she is set to take office in coming days, securing her title as Finland's third female government leader, its youngest-ever prime minister, and the youngest serving world leader.

The Social Democrats are the largest party in a five-member governing coalition. All of the parties now have women in leadership positions.
