Children aged less than 3 years in formal childcare by duration eustrat_epsr_spi__ilc_caindformal

Time format:
Years
Unit:
% of children aged less than 3 (comparable)
Description:

This indicator shows the percentage of children under the age of 3 cared for by formal arrangements other than by the family, disaggregated by the weekly time spent in care. ‘Formal arrangements’ refer to the four EU-SILC survey variables:

  • Education at pre-school or equivalent
  • Education at compulsory education
  • Child care at centre-based services outside school hours
  • Child care at day-care centre organised/controlled by a public or private structure.

The definition of formal care excludes any arrangements without any structure between the carer and the parents (direct arrangements). When interpreting the data, cross-country differences in maternity/paternity/parental leave arrangements and minimum compulsory school age should be taken into account.
