abstract: 'In recent years, several middle-income countries, including Chile,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mexico and Uruguay, have increased the availability of early childhood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and care (ECEC) services. These developments have received
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
little scholarly attention so far, resulting in the (surely unintended)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impression that Latin American social policy is tied to a familialist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
track, when in reality national and regional trends are more varied and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
complex. This article looks at recent efforts to expand ECEC services in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chile and Mexico. In spite of similar concerns over low female labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
force participation and child welfare, the approaches of the two
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries to service expansion have differed significantly. While the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mexican programme aims to kick-start and subsidize home-and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
community-based care provision, with a training component for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childminders, the Chilean programme emphasizes the expansion of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
professional ECEC services provided in public institutions. By comparing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the two programmes, this article shows that differences in policy design
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have important implications in terms of the opportunities the programmes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are able to create for women and children from low-income families, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in terms of the programmes'' impacts on gender and class inequalities. It
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also ventures some hypotheses about why the two countries may have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
chosen such different routes.'
