This International Women's Day, we need a childcare revolution ✒️ SarahBrownUK via ipaperviews
. The first five to six years is a vital time in a child’s life, when 90 per cent of brain development occurs, and patterns of learning and behaviour are set for the future.
Those who don’t receive adequate care and attention in their early years are at greater risk of going through life with poorer physical and mental health, and lower earning potential. Right now, 350 million children – 40 per cent of those below primary-school-entry age – don’t have access to early childcare and education.
It has been estimated that providing adequate childcare for women around the world would add $3 trillion to the global economy annually. Theirworld’s own research has found that every pound invested in early childhood care and development leads to a return of over £14 for the most disadvantaged children.
