abstract: 'Growing evidence suggests that children''s participation in early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childhood education and care (ECEC), especially center-based services,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is associated with positive outcomes, particularly for children over one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
year of age and children of low socioeconomic backgrounds. This signals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an important opportunity for reducing socioeconomic disparities in young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children''s development. Many western countries have adopted policies to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
encourage maternal employment, facilitate ECEC service use, or both,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
often focusing on disadvantaged families. Yet few studies to date have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tested the impact of these policies for reducing socioeconomic selection
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into ECEC. This study integrates data from five cohorts of children
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
living in different western, high-income countries (UK, USA,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Netherlands, Canada, and Norway; total N = 21,437). We compare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation rates and socioeconomic selection into ECEC across the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different policy contexts in infancy (5-9 months) and early childhood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(36-41 months). Policy environments where parents had access to at least
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6 months of paid maternity/parental leave had lower ECEC participation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in infancy but higher participation in early childhood. Higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation rates were also associated with universal ECEC subsidies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i.e., not targeted to low-income families). In general, low income, low
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maternal education and having more than one child were associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reduced use of ECEC. Selection effects related to low income and number
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of children were reduced in countries with universal ECEC subsidies when
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
out-of-pocket fees were income-adjusted or reduced for subsequent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children, respectively. Most socioeconomic selection effects were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reduced in Norway, the only country to invest more than 1\% of its GDP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into early childhood. Nevertheless, low maternal education was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consistently associated with reduced use of ECEC services across all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries. Among families using services however, there were few
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
selection effects for the type of ECEC setting (center-based vs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-center-based), particularly in early childhood. In sum, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparative study suggests wide variations in ECEC participation that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be linked to the policy context, and highlights key policy elements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which may reduce socioeconomic disparities in ECEC use.'
