This document features our analysis of EU Child Rights Strategy with an Early Childhood Development angle.

This is our analysis of the proposal for a European Child Guarantee. Read what the First Years First Priority campaign is calling for.

This statement contains our reaction to the announcement. Though the European Child Guarantee refers to a wider age range, we hope that it will catalyse attention to, and investment in, early childhood development.

This framing document explains the rationale of the campaign, why it is needed and outlines the solutions it is advocating for. Released in April 2021.

This document considers the Child Guarantee initiative from the perspective of early childhood development and stresses the importance of ensuring that its implementation responds to the needs of very young children, especially those from vulnerable groups and their families and caregivers.

The analysis summarises the situation of young children across several policy areas impacting their development. It is based on data collected1 from nine European countries and consolidated in nine Country Profiles. It draws attention towards four key findings across policy areas impacting early childhood development (ECD) and priorities for policy-making and investment in early childhood at the European and country level.

The information provided in this Country Profile reflects the situation at the end of May 2021. Country profiles look at key indicators across all the countries involved in the campaign and identify gaps in national data and evidence on early childhood.
