This book addresses the child care market existing before and in parallel with Swedish welfare state’s public welfare for children, 1900–1975. The focus is on commercial maternity homes where unmarried mothers could give birth to their illegitimate children in secret, as well as children's hotels where parents could accommodate their children for a longer or shorter time in exchange for money.
