Probably the only time they should really ask about Children is during an Asylum seeking interview. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> Out of curiosity I just checked the status in Finland... Here's a web extract. It's illegal in Finland. Even for a reference the explicit consent of the applicant is required.<snip>"Firstly, it is vital to understand that despite the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Act on the Protection of Privacy in Working Life is still fully applicable and lex specialis also in relation to processing personal data in recruitment situations.During a job interview, the employer is permitted to ask questions that are directly related to the job and also to:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">the rights and obligations of both parties; or</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">benefits provided by the employer; or</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">issues related to the job itself. </li> </ol>This is based on the necessity requirement defined in Section 3 of the Finnish Act on the Protection of Privacy in Working Life. This requirement cannot be changed, not even with an employee’s consent.As a rule of thumb,  questions of a sensitive nature, such as family relationships, number of children, trade union membership, disabilities, health, or whether or not the applicant has served his/her military duty, are not permitted.Another key principle to remember is that the employer should collect information and personal data about the applicant primarily from the individual concerned. To collect information from elsewhere, for example, reference requests, the employer must have the applicant's explicit consent."</snip></blockquote>
