Childcare and Welfare Mix in France

Abstract

‘Proximity services’ have been the subject of frequent debate for more than a decade in French speaking countries. They can be defined as services which meet individual or collective needs and which are ‘local’ in either spatial or relational terms. Based on the situation in France, this paper aims to describe the many options available in the field of ‘proximity services’ and examine the support offered by the public authorities for the existing practices, considering that this support is representative of the evolutive relations between State, market and civil society. The limited success of the free market puts the question of a renewal of public intervention, which would accommodate all options available in this area, without being confined to a marketization of this field of activity. For this matter, the political embeddedness of associations and cooperatives is decisive for the future.
