RE: Cultural Differences Between The Nordic Countries
That’s interesting. I guess it also comes down to different economical and social systems that creates some differences

I think the daycare thing is just perhaps about the culture being somewhat more collectivistic. My friend and his wife took away their older child from daycare when their younger child was born. After living in Norway for nearly six years, they started feeling that they were supposed to adapt to the local customs. They left as a result. They did not live in a big city but in a rural area.
In Finland, the Centre Party that represents rural and small town middle class is bigger than in the other Nordic countries. Their values are more traditional than those of the urban parties. They have always been for kids being at home instead of daycare.
