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.
