ABSTRACT:
Early childhood education is a key driver of several economic outcomes, such as growth, development, public and taxpayer expenditure on social deficits, among others. In the Indian and South Asian context, ECE is intertwined with other developmental issues such as nutrition, health, caregiving, and cultural biases regarding education. While there have been positive correlations identified between ECE and economic growth on a global scale and consequent policy decisions in India, the implementation of these policies has been poor and participation in ECE continues to be below desired levels. This paper investigates this issue from a critical perspective, drawing on global research in the field, to identify the key gaps in implementation of ECE policy in India and South Asia. This paper poses policy recommendations and further areas for research to improve the quality of data available regarding ECE in the region and in turn its impact on the economy.
