Starting Strong II

Early Childhood Education and Care

This review of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in twenty OECD countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States) describes the social, economic, conceptual and research factors that influence early childhood policy. These include: increasing women's labor market participation; reconciling work and family responsibilities on a more equitable basis for women; confronting the demographic challenges faced by OECD countries; and in particular, addressing issues of access, quality, diversity, child poverty and educational disadvantage. This publication outlines the progress made by the participating countries in responding to the key aspects of successful ECEC policy outlined in the previous volume, Starting strong (OECD, 2001). It offers many examples of new policy initiatives adopted in the ECEC field. In their conclusion, the authors identify ten policy areas for further critical attention from governments. The book also presents country profiles, which give an overview of ECEC systems in all 20 participating countries.--Publisher description
