Users of home-care services in a Nordic welfare state under marketisation: the rich, the poor and the sick

2017

Stricter access to public services, outsourcing of municipal services and increasing allocation of public funding for the purchase of private services have resulted in a marketisation wave in Finland. In this context of a Nordic welfare state undergoing marketisation, this paper aims to examine the use of Finnish care services among older people and find out who are using these new kinds of private services. How wide is their use and do the users of private care services differ from those who are using public services? How usual is it to mix both public and private care services? The questionnaire survey data set used here was gathered in 2010 among the population aged 75 and over in the ci…

Johan on markkinat! : varhaiskasvatuspalveluiden järjestäminen muutoksessa

2018

Yksityisesti tuotetun varhaiskasvatuksen osuus kasvaa. Kasvu on ollut julkisesti tuettua eli poliittisen prosessin tulos. Yksityisen toiminnan, perheiden valinnan mahdollisuuksien ja palveluntuottajien kilpailun lisääntymissä on kyse varhaiskasvatuksen markkinoistumisesta. Viime kädessä varhaiskasvatuksesta päätetään kuntatasolla. Tutkimuksessamme olemme tarkastelleet, millaisia merkityksiä kuntapäättäjät markkinoistumiskehitykseen liittävät. nonPeerReviewed

Using Private Social Care Services in Finland : Free or Forced Choices for Older People?

2016

Use of private social care services among older people is increasing in Finland. This study aims to understand why older people choose private care in a comprehensive tax-subsidized social care system and examines whether people choose private service as a free choice or a forced choice as well as what factors contribute toward making these choices. Data for this study (N = 1,436) were gathered in 2010 from people aged 75 and above living independently at home in two Finnish cities: Tampere and Jyväskylä. Data were analyzed with several quantitative tests: chi-squared tests, multinomial regression analysis, and qualitative content analysis (for the open-ended responses from the survey quest…
