A values-based early care and education system would benefit children, parents, and teachers in US states 5 Feb 2020 | United States

According to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) the underfunding of early child care and education is compromising the well-being of ECE-teachers and the children. In this report, the EPI identifies that policymakers and other stakeholders in US states have an opportunity to disrupt this suboptimal status quo and ensure that the US ECE system has the funding it needs to work effectively for children, families, and teachers. The report breaks down, by state, the estimated cost of a values based ECE system, which would ensure a well-qualified and fairly compensated workforce providing a high standard of care.

OECD: Providing quality early childhood education and care: Results from the TALIS Starting Strong Survey 2018 5 Feb 2020 | International

This first volume of findings from the OECD Starting Strong Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) examines factors that can affect the quality of ECEC, identifying key questions for parents, staff and policy makers. The resarch includes data collection from staff and leaders working in "pre-primary education" (3 - 5 year olds) in 9 countries (Chile, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Norway, Turkey) and a survey of staff and leaders working with children under age 3 in regulated ECEC in Denmark, Germany, Israel, and Norway.

Time to care: Unpaid and underpaid care work and the global inequality crisis 5 Feb 2020 | International

This Oxfam paper is calling on governments around the world to invest in national care systems to address the disproportionate paid and unpaid care work done by women and girls. This paper specifically states that the lack of access to quality and affordable childcare is a key hurdle for women to pursue decent work and quality education. Moreover, having paid parental leave schemes and childcare services can reduce women’s vulnerability to the motherhood wage penalty and promote shared responsibility of care between men and women.

If I [take] leave, will you stay? Paternity leave and relationship stability 5 Feb 2020 | United States

This study, published by the Journal of Social Policy, uses longitudinal data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) to analyze the association between paternity leave-taking and relationship stability in the United States. Results indicate that paternity leave-taking, and taking relatively short leaves (i.e. two weeks or less) in particular, is associated with greater relationship stability. Given that the U.S. does not currently have a national paid parental leave policy, these findings may be especially useful to policymakers who aim to strengthen and stabilize parental relationships.
