Reviews
""This book makes an important contribution to our knowledge of children in the Nordic countries. It discusses how the Nordic Welfare State with its strong emphasis on equity, relates to the well-being of children."" Irene Levin, Professor of Social Work, Oslo University College ""This book is a welcome addition to the international policy literature. Despite considerable interest in the Nordic welfare model, it is among the first to examine the distinguishing features of Nordic approaches to child welfare and provides a timely analysis of Nordic child welfare services in transition. I recommend it to child welfare policy makers, researchers and practitioners."" Professor Karen Healy, School of Social Work and Human Services, The University of Queensland.
