The progress of the Child Well-being Module 22nd of June, 2010 Network on Early Childhood Education and Care Dominic Richardson, SPD / DELSA
Child well-being module • As part of the Family database • Three comparative sections • Child policies (spending and structures) • Contextual indicators (family and community) • Child well-being outcome indicators • Country specific sections • Governance issues, policy changes, yet incomparable information • National specific data collections
Plans for the CWBM • Not a one-off project • Stage specific information • Both theory / empirics driven • Explanatory notes will be provided • Gaps to be identified • All data will be quality tested • Meta data • Validation testing / systematic bias • Guidance for appropriate use
The CWBM will use a matrix structure for comparable information
Plans for the CWBM • Not a one-off project • Stage specific information • Both theory / empirics driven • Explanatory notes will be provided • Gaps to be identified • All data will be quality tested • Meta data • Validation testing / systematic bias • Guidance for appropriate use
What we are doing in SPD • Child well-being indicators • Family Database • Social expenditure • Doing Better for families • Longitudinal analysis • Tax and benefit estimates • Static and dynamic • Review of international surveys of children
Longitudinal analysis on the outcomes of childcare • UK, USA Australia, Canada, Denmark, • Childcare • Type of provider • Age at which child goes to non-parental care • Number of hours (intensity) • Controlling for background factors, health status and breastfeeding • Parenting behaviours (reading, etc.) • Cognitive scores (vocab.), behavioural (attention), and conduct at age 5 • Linking this to mothers employment • Will feed into future work on data collection
Incorporating the ECEC network information • Mainly in early childhood inputs and contexts • Information on staffing levels / provision by child or family attributes • In country specific sections • ECEC Governance information • Recent ECEC policy developments • Unique national data collections and evaluations
Outputs from the CWBM… • ST: Online reporting by indicator • Feed into upcoming work (DBFF) • Make better use of the qualitative info and country specific info • MT: Working papers or short reports • By child age / by country / by topic • LT: Provide a foundation for regular reporting on CWB in OECD countries
Progress to date I • Final round of comments were received from the USA and Australia in March • Incorporated changes • Identifying the correct data • Collaborative approach to conceptualisation • Addressed outstanding concerns • Inclusion of all countries • Types of involvement / collection • The final proposal has been submitted to the EDG
Progress to date II • The UK has already committed three years of funding to the project • Data is collected for DBFF and other projects on health, education and income • Averages (efficiency) • Inequalities (equity) • First online data as of fourth quarter of 2010 • New data (national and international) will be reviewed and added as of fourth quarter of 2010 • Backdating of available series in early 2011
