Snapshot of early childhood development data and policies in nine countries - A cross country analysis

The cross-country analysis has been developed within the First Years First Priority Campaign co-led by Eurochild and the International Step by Step Association (ISSA), in partnership with the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) and Roma Education Fund (REF).

The analysis summarises the situation of young children across several policy areas impacting their development. It is based on data collected from nine European countries and consolidated in nine Country Profiles. It draws attention towards four key findings across policy areas impacting early childhood development (ECD) and priorities for policy-making and investment in early childhood at the European and country level.
