abstract: 'Access to early childhood education services has proved to be an
effective way of combating educational inequality. However, more
advantaged families are more likely to use these services, while
children from more vulnerable backgrounds are marginalised. Research has
explained this phenomenon, known as the Mathew Effect, mainly by
studying the constraints arising from the availability of services, the
economic capacity of families to use them, and cultural patterns of
motherhood. This paper aims to identify, from a public policy
perspective, other factors that explain the Mathew Effect, beyond the
economic barriers that limit access to formal care services for young
children.
Based on interviews with 34 mothers of children under three years old,
with differing levels of involvement in the employment market and
different models of childcare (municipal and private nursery schools),
we analyse the characteristics of formal early childhood care services
and the objective factors of those mothers'' everyday lives, to
understand the decision-making processes involved in choosing childcare
for the under-threes. The results indicate that sliding scale pricing
has allowed mothers on low incomes to access state nursery schools,
while the quality of the public services offered has been a factor in
attracting middle and upper class parents. However, there has been no
adaptation of public early childhood care services to the needs of
working-class mothers who, while not being in a situation of social
vulnerability, do not have the option of using private nurseries.'
