Parental payments accounted for 16 per cent of gross operating expenditures in private kindergartens in 2014, while government subsidies accounted for 87 per cent.

Government subsidies accounted for 87 per cent of gross operating expenditures in private kindergartens. This means that the level of government subsidies has increased by 2 per cent in the last year. Parental payments accounted for 16 per cent of gross operating expenditures and have remained stable in the last year.

In recent years, the proportion of government and parental subsidies of private kindergartens’ operating expenditures have seen a change. In 2000, the proportion of government subsidies and payments from parents were almost identical, with 48 and 47 per cent respectively. The proportion of government subsidies increased in the period between 2000 and 2007, giving a share of government subsidies of 80 per cent. The development from 2007 to 2014 has not been as significant, but has given an 87 per cent share of government subsidies.
