Abstract
This chapter presents data on ECE policy at national, regional and local levels, including policy aims; governance and system management; legislative status and statutory entitlements for ECE; statutory entitlements to parental leave and pay; and key policy changes in ECE. These data inform readers about how ECE sits within national systems and what the priorities are for governments, and aim to capture within and between country variations in the way ECE is handled in public policy statements and actions.
