School Bullying and the Experience of Social Inclusion Among Finnish Adolescent Boys and Girls
Revictimization and Mental Health Service Use in Intimate Partner Violence: A Comparison of Single and Multiple Reports Using Linked Police and Health Registers
BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) contributes to the development and severity of mental health problems, and pre-existing mental disorders are also associated with victimization. IPV is rarely a single event, and the consequences of revictimization appear to be more severe. However, little is known about patterns of mental health service utilization among individuals exposed to IPV revictimization. AIMS: The study aims to estimate the a…
Selecting between public and private early childhood education and care in the Nordic context: The roles of socioeconomic status, municipal subsidies and parents’ attitudes
As in the other Nordic welfare states, public ECEC system is seen as the cornerstone of the universal early childhood education and care (ECEC) institution in Finland. Many Finnish municipalities, however, support private ECEC service provision and parents’ possibility to choose ECEC services for their child, both of which indicate privatisation and marketisation of ECEC. This study examines parents’ (N = 781) ECEC decisions between public and pr…
Employed Mothers' Justifications for Using Child Home Care Allowance in Finland
This paper examines the justifications for using the Child Home Care Allowance given by Finnish mothers with a one-year-old child, and the factors associated with these justifications. The study is based on a survey with parents, focussing on mothers with existing employment contract and spouse ( n = 530). The main justification for home care of a one-year-old child was that the child is too young for out-of-home day care. Experiencing home care …
Gender Differences in Witnessing and the Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence from the Perspective of Children in Finland
Background—Intimate partner violence (IPV) has both direct and longer-term effects on children’s well-being. Much of the research thus far has relied on caregiver reports of IPV and clinical samples of children. By contrast, minimal research has examined violence between parents from the perspective of children using nationwide samples. Objective—This study explored the frequency of IPV witnessed by children and gender variations regarding the vi…
Fathers' Leave Take-Up in Finland: Motivations and Barriers in a Complex Nordic Leave Scheme
Despite being the first country in the world to introduce paternity leave in 1978, Finland's current national leave scheme is complex with regard to incentivizing fathers' take-up. Taking the unique Finnish leave scheme as a case example, this article examines fathers' motivations and barriers to leave. Although research on fathers' take-up of leave in divergent leave policy contexts has increased dramatically, fathers' motivations and barriers t…
Child Protection in Europe: Development of an International Cross-Comparison Model to Inform National Policies and Practices
We report a five-nations project in comparative child protection to provide recommendations on policy and practice to inform the redevelopment of the Swiss child protection system. The Swiss Federal Government and the Optimus and Oak Foundations commissioned the project—collective title: Association Programme National pour la Protection de l'Enfant. We identify the historical developmental trajectories of child protection systems together with co…
