abstract: 'Since the year 2000, the provision of early years education and care for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the under-threes (hereafter 0-3 ECEC) in Spain has undergone a steady
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increase. This growth has taken place in all of the seventeen Autonomous
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Communities, albeit not in a uniform way. In this article we study how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different institutional designs at the regional level have an impact on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equality of opportunities, both in how families access the service and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in how much they pay. We try to ascertain under what conditions ECEC can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
go beyond a policy that helps families juggle work and family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responsibilities, and becomes a redistributive and equal opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy that helps the most socially disadvantaged groups access it while
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
defraying its cost. We analyse how state regulations regarding ECEC have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evolved from the 1990 LOGSE to the 2020 LOMLOE, and we compare seven
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Autonomous Communities which each have different levels of coverage and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
management models. Our study concludes that although there are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in both access criteria and in the price of services, all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Autonomous Communities studied have been moving towards a service
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that aims to be more equitable, with an explicit recognition of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particular difficulties caused by low income, disabilities, being a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
single parent, or gender-based violence. Even so, certain structural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics of ECEC -such as the fluctuating nature of its
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
financing, its weak public regulation and monitoring, and significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outsourcing to private providers- make it difficult to universalise the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
service in order to make it a truly redistributive policy.'
