LatestAfter twenty years of liberal deregulation, child abuse scandals and the misappropriation of public funds, governments and municipalities in several European countries are trying to regain control of the private daycare sector.
An investigation into the inner workings of an economic model where profitability takes precedence over the well-being of children and their families. Former employees provide behind-the-scenes accounts of these daycare centers, which now operate on a profit-driven basis. In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, this sector is being privatized, paradoxically thanks to massive public subsidies. But where do these public funds end up?
