Men in ECE and Workforce Gender Balance

Early Childhood Education and Childcare

Member Login

Our position is that men must be recruited into early childhood teaching as well as women. The current gender imbalance in staffing in early childhood services hampers efforts to achieve high quality learning and care for children. Policy strategies to increase men's participation in ECE teaching are needed.
