Beskrivning
This book explores the increasing role of private providers in early childhood education and care (ECEC) as they become a core part of the Nordic welfare model—one that once rejected for-profit involvement in public welfare. Within this context, ECEC has become the key battleground over private providers’ role in the welfare system. Chapters compare five Nordic countries: Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, to discuss possible benefits from having different types of providers—public, nonprofit, and for-profit—in the welfare mix. To conclude, the authors also provide a comparative perspective on governance of the ECEC sector and on the development and functions of the Nordic welfare model.

Recensioner i media

“Though the book focuses on childhood education and care in the Nordic countries, the Quadruple’s work equally applies to other countries, developed and developing, making this book worth reading.” (James Mawanda, Voluntas, Vol. 35 (4), 2024)
