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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H虧on Solbu Tr誥teberg, Karl Henrik Sivesind, Maiju Paananen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031373529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031373527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"H虧on Solbu Tr誥teberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44311186800895,"sku":"9783031373527","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcb93d4c-d149-4ccd-91d7-59cd1086ae96.jpg?v=1695721507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/privatization-of-early-childhood-education-hkon-solbu-trtteberg-9783031373527","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
