Equity, governance and the private sector
Effective Early Childhood
(2009)
Abstract
A review of ECEC in OECD member countries noted an increasing trend towards decentralising services, including a growing role for private and for-profit providers. Increased autonomy for providers and finance models championing consumer choice may be incompatible with public policy aims of targeting vulnerable and disadvantagedgroups because it becomes difficult to monitor standards and reach, with theconsequence that inequalities in both quality and access may increase.
