abstract: 'This article analyses childcare services in six countries, assessing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this policy instrument''s potential to facilitate parents'' capabilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for arranging childcare in a way they have reason to value. It draws on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sen''s capability approach to conceptualize and assess childcare policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
design across five key aspects of childcare provision (accessibility,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
availability, affordability, quality and flexibility) in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
country-comparative perspective. The conceptualization of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
multifaceted nature of childcare provides compelling insights into the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
complexity of comparing childcare services across countries. The ensuing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis and comprehensive overview of national policies challenges the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
idea of a defamilialization policy cluster, which masks key distinctions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between public and market service provision. The more nuanced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conceptualization and operationalization of childcare policy design
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through the capability approach reveals parents'' real opportunities for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arranging childcare and the varying effects of policy design across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender and class. In addition, it goes beyond implicit commodification
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assumptions and opens up space for parents'' potential desire for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
multiple care arrangement possibilities.'
