Sisällön kuvaus

The data consists of information collected from parents and guardians of children aged around four years on childcare arrangements and early childhood education solutions. The data is part of the multidisciplinary project "Finnish Childcare Policies: In/Equality in Focus" (CHILDCARE), which is being implemented by the Universities of Jyväskylä and Tampere and the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).

In the interviews, questions were initially asked about the everyday life of the child and the family, for example what changes have taken place since the last interview and what solutions have been made in terms of childcare. Then the reasons for the childcare solutions were asked, for example, how and why the current solution was chosen. This was followed by an enquiry about the support and help that respondents had received in relation to childcare and its solutions. They were also asked about the reconciliation of work and family life and about decision-making and negotiation in the family in relation to childcare. Interviewees were asked to describe a typical day for a four-year-old child. They were also asked what their living environment is like for a four-year-old child and what they would think if the municipality offered free early childhood education for five-year-olds.

Background data are classified by educational background, age and municipality classification. The data were organised into an easy to use HTML version at FSD.

The randomized municipality and respondent code of the "interview name" in the data allows a comparison between this and the follow-up data FSD3750 and FSD3755. Follow-up interviews were collected from the same parents and guardians when the children were under two years old in 2016-2017 and under school age during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021.

Havainto/aineistoyksiköiden valinta

Non-probability: Purposive

Originally, the invitation to participate in the project survey, on the basis of which the interviewees were selected, was sent to all parents living in Alajärvi, Hamina, Kittilä, Lieksa, Salo and Ulvila who had a child born between 1 October 2014 and 30 September 2015. For Helsinki, Jyväskylä, Oulu and Tampere, the survey was sent to parents and guardians of children born during the period in question and living in specific postal code areas. The postcode areas were chosen on a discretionary basis, as the educational level, employment and dependency ratio of the population varied between the areas. The study areas also included parts of municipalities where the immigrant population was known to be larger than in other areas. In addition, the location of the areas in relation to the centre of the municipality and the location of early childhood education services were taken into account. For the latter, particular attention was paid to ensuring that areas with private day-care facilities and areas without such facilities were included.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Not all parents/guardians participated in the follow-up interviews.

The data have been anonymised by the researcher as follows: names of persons and data referring to the place have been anonymised. In addition, items relating to workplace, education and occupation have been removed where the information would have increased the identifiability of the interviewees. The ages of the interviewees have been classified in five-year intervals. Interviews that contained too much detailed identifiable information have been removed from the archived data by the researcher. In FSD, implicit identifiers have been coarsened or removed in a few files, in line with the researcher's policy. The anonymisations made by the FSD are marked with [[double square brackets]].
