Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper takes the case of early childhood education and care in Korea to explore how the service delivery structure that utilises non-traditional welfare institutions creates tensions between private and public interests. It highlights that the state’s primary concern is to ensure citizens’ access to services provided in the market, the providers of which are entrusted with social responsibilities at the same time. Yet because social goals are pursued through the use of economically efficient tools, the economic logic is introduced where it should not, in ways that are detrimental to social goals.
