Applying for citizenship without a job

[solidrepellent]

Hello all,

My wife and child (<4 years) is planning to apply for the Finnish citizenship. She lived in Finland for 7 years (4 years on A type and later permanent residency). I am the main bread winner of the house. She was a student initially and then we had the kid. She is looking for work since long and it is hard to find in her domain area without experience. She passed the YKI recently and planning to apply for the Finnish citizenship. She receives Kela benefits.

My question is does she need regular income of her own to show in the citizenship application? or is Kela benefits sufficient? In what way can we augment the application?

In terms of assets, I own an apartment in Finland and we both live there.

Thank you for your time.
