During the 1800th century, a growing working class had long shifts and poor wages. There was overcrowding, poverty and starvation. Young children were either taken to work or left unattended. This is the background to the first initiatives for childcare.

Nils Harnesk lectures on the history of childcare in Sweden – how crèches, workhouses and milk drops laid the foundation for today's preschool.
