Children's out-of-home care in Finland, 1993–2020: lifetime risks, expectancies, exit routes, and number of placements for synthetic cohorts
For the synthetic cohorts of 1993-2020, the lifetime risk of entry into OHC increased two-fold and the lifetime risk of entry into residential care three-fold. Despite international declarations of intent to prioritise family-based care, increasing numbers of children are being placed in residential care in Finland.
