The trends outlined in this chapter point to the importance of the mix in formal, semi-formal and informal care, between public and private resources, in all the countries studied in the Woups project and both in childcare as well as elderly care arrangements. The qualitative findings identify norms and practices which combine a variety of care providers and sites of caring. Against a background of increasing generosity in cash for care and leave schemes, in particular for young children, and quite extensive formal services, undoubtedly significant in all the countries even if to varying degrees, the growing receptiveness to some flexibility in care providers and locations for care is also significant.

Abstract
The trends outlined in this chapter point to the importance of the mix in formal, semi-formal and informal care, between public and private resources, in all the countries studied in the Woups project and both in childcare as well as elderly care arrangements. The qualitative findings identify norms and practices which combine a variety of care providers and sites of caring. Against a background of increasing generosity in cash for care and leave schemes, in particular for young children, and quite extensive formal services, undoubtedly significant in all the countries even if to varying degrees, the growing receptiveness to some flexibility in care providers and locations for care is also significant.
