“…A major concern at this time was how children should be cared for when women left for work. The former privatised solutions of maids and nannies were deemed insufficient, and the solution suggested was public daycare (Myrdal and Klein, 1957;Sjögren, 2003). As early as in the 1930s, Alva Myrdal argued that all children should be taken care of by educated workers in public daycare, and that this was an investment in the children's future and in social equality (Myrdal and Myrdal, 1934).…”

We have been entrusted with your stories and, while sewing them all together has not been easy, we sincerely hope that our efforts to treat your narratives with respect will be visible to you when reading this book. To each and every one of you, we give our warmest thanks.We are indebted to many colleagues and friends for providing support and encouragement, and for asking intellectually provoking questions, during the four years that we have conducted this study. Åsa Lundqvist has been our closest 'critical friend', always ready to share her immense knowledge, as well as a glass of wine, when necessary. The members of the research environment 'Family, Migration, Welfare', as well as students and staff at the Department of Sociology, Lund University, have followed us from start to end. Their expertise, advice and support have been crucial on so many different levels. We particularly want to thank our dear friend and colleague Agneta Mallén.This study has also brought us new friends. Lise Widding Isaksen and Lena Näre invited us to be part of the international research environment 'North-Eastern Care Chains', which provided us with critical support, as did the Nordic network 'Significant Others'. Esther Dermott and Janet Fink came to visit in Lund, and their enthusiasm and encouragement made us believe that we could actually write a book. We have had the opportunity to present this study at many different venues, both academic and public, and we are thankful for all the constructive feedback that has been shared with us.Hayley Davies generously provided office space for writing at the University of Leeds in the autumn of 2017. On top of that, Hayley offered her critical eye in reading the final draft of some of the chapters, as did Catrine Andersson, Lars Eldén, Dalia Mukhtar-Landgren, Christine Roman and Johanna Sixtensson -for this, we are very grateful. Thank you Anna Lidskog for excellent transcription work, and Erik Nylund who visualised our data.
