Quasi-market regulation in Early Childhood Education and Care - Is a Nordic welfare dimension prevailing?
Vis sammendrag
Is there a Nordic model in governance of early childhood education and care (ECEC)?
In this paper, we argue that such a model existed for a long time. Nordic ECEC has its roots in the non-profit, voluntary sector and was gradually incorporated in the welfare state. The area thus became the subject of governance through legislation and the directives of elected and appointed officials (Maroy, 2012). This was achieved through public provision supplemented by non-profit actors (Trætteberg, Sivesind, Paananen, & Hrafnsdóttir, 2021).
Over the last 25 years, the Nordic countries have chosen different governance strategies. Today each country has a unique combination of (1) quasi-market instruments to encourage private entrepreneurs (Westberg & Larsson, 2020), (2) inspection as a government tool to retain balancing elements of “the evaluative state” (Ball, 2003; Maroy, 2012), and (3) coordination of ECEC establishment within a public bureaucratic system.
Through policy documents, public statistics, previous research etc. we document how Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland have introduced different governance tools. Furthermore, we demonstrate the consequences of the policy choices: Norway has seen major growth in for-profit providers, Denmark is in the process of banning for-profit providers, and Sweden, Finland and Iceland see developments between these two extremes.
The different paths in governance and development of the non-public parts of the sector challenge the notion of a unified Nordic model of ECEC governance. The Nordic countries have similar histories, and goals for high quality welfare services for all, and reduction of social inequality through education and public subsidies. We ask if the change of tools of government, perhaps inadvertently, lead to a change of welfare goals (Sivesind, Trætteberg, & Saglie, 2017)? The Nordic countries represent cases in a “natural experiment” that facilitates the analysing the consequences of different quasi-market tools for the ECEC-sector.

Active citizenship in public and nonprofit schools – the case of Norway.
Vis sammendrag
Countries increasingly out-contract public education to private providers to inspire competition and development, but there is limited research on the consequences. This article compares the parents’ room for active citizenship in public and nonprofit compulsory schools in Norway. First, it reviews previous research, theoretical perspectives, and legal and institutional context. Second, it analyses a large-scale parental survey by multi-level regressions (OLS) of school-choice, internal empowerment, external participation in governance, and satisfaction with dialogue and collaboration, while controlling for school- and municipality-level factors. Although parents are in general satisfied, there is a small but significantly higher level in free schoo related to internal empowerment. This indicates that stakeholder influence makes a difference, even in a society promoting active citizenship more broadly in welfare services. Parents’ reasons for choosing free schoo are mainly perceived quality, profile, or previous dissatisfaction, and not location as in public schools. Although just 4.2 percent go to free schoo, the reported motives indicate that the opportunity to choose has strong implications for active citizenship. The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training conducted the survey in 2018–2019, targeting more than 20 000 parents or guardians of pupils in 160 public and 25 free schools in 45 municipalities.

User satisfaction with public, for-profit and nonprofit providers in the Scandinavian welfare model: The case of kindergartens in the City of Oslo.
Vis sammendrag
One of the most noteworthy developments in recent years in the Scandinavian welfare mix is the growth of non-public welfare providers. This change is politically contested, and a rapid increase in for-profit providers of welfare services has spurred talks of a potential marginalization of the nonprofit sector as the main partner to public providers of welfare. The aim of this paper is to study differences between public, nonprofit and for-profit welfare providers in the Scandinavian welfare context through the opinions of users of kindergartens in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Kindergartens in Norway, irrespective of service provider, are strictly regulated, and the potential for distinctiveness is limited. Relying on a large scale survey on user satisfaction carried out in 2015, satisfaction with different aspects of kindergartens is analyzed. The results suggest that, firstly, a majority of the users are satisfied with kindergartens, and variations between users of public, for-profit and nonprofit providers are limited. Second, although the differences between providers are limited users of nonprofit kindergartens are generally more satisfied than users of for-profit and public kindergartens, and the differences are largest when it comes to satisfaction with physical infrastructure. Third, an important explanation for variations in user satisfaction between kindergartens is the quality of the food service. Food service is of particular interest because food cost is the only cost that varies between kindergartens in Norway. This result therefore indicates that a more lenient regulation could potentially increase provider distinctiveness. The paper ends with a discussion of different theories of why nonprofit kindergartens seem to outperform public and for-profits when it comes to user satisfaction.

Private and Public Welfare Providers: What are the Implications for Citizenship Roles?
Fulltekst i vitenarkiv
Vis sammendrag
Universal social services have been, and are, a hallmark of the Scandinavian welfare model. This includes public financing as well as public provision of the services. Public financing of universal services is still an undisputed part of the model, but the provision of the services is becoming more diversified (Sivesind, 2013). In Sweden for-profit provision has over the last 20 years continuously expanded its share of the welfare sector, in Denmark non-profits have over time played an important role within certain welfare sectors, whilst in Norway the public is still the dominant actor, but important political actors want to expand the scope for especially nonprofit actors, but also for for-profit actors.
These developments invites to studies that can deepen our understanding of the importance of the provider, given that the universal character of the funding of services remains intact. This project will seek to understand how these changes can influence the room for active citizenship roles. The research question is: How are private and public welfare providers differently associated with active citizenship?
