Jutikkala was born in Sääksmäki. He wrote mainly about collective phenomena in history, focussing on social and economic history. His main contributions are in the areas of early modern period economic history and historical demography. His methodological innovations are also thought to have greatly improved the quality of local history research in Finland. He helped make Finland's history known to English-speaking readers through his book ''A History of Finland'', written with Kauko Pirinen.
Jutikkala died in Helsinki, aged 99. In his will, he donated twenty-two million euros to the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters to be used to support research in the humanities. __NOTOC__ Provided by Wikipedia
