The Child Care Transition: a league table of early childhood education and care in economically advanced countries
3 Feb 2009
This report, from UNICEF’s Innocenti Research Centre, brings together two significant developments: the fact that a majority are spending a large part of early childhood in some form of out-of-home child care comes at the same time neuroscientific research is demonstrating the critical need for the earliest months and years of life to have loving, stable, secure and stimulating relationships with caregivers. The report asks urgent questions of the public and policymakers in OECD countries, looking at whether the childcare transition will represent an advance or a setback for today’s children and tomorrow’s world.
