Promoting Children's Welfare in the Nordic Countries

Nordic countries are undoubtedly world leaders in child welfare. This study describes and compares the institutions that promote the welfare of children and youth in Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The study focuses on eight institutions or areas of welfare, namely: early childfood education and care, welfare services at school, health care of children and youth, parentien support, decisionmaking, maternity/paternity leave and leave to care for children, universal child benefits and income related child benefits. A review of policies promoting the welfare of children and youth in the Nordic countries exposes a large variety of services and benefits targeted for them. The genera picture is that all the countries belong to the same family. There are clearly more similarities than dissimilarities among the Nordic countries.
