Time to close the socioeconomic gap in access to childcare

Time to close the socioeconomic gap in access to childcare

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 18 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02479-4Socioeconomic inequalities shape who accesses early childcare, even in countries that claim universal provision. This entrenched inequality limits child development, women’s employment and gender equality — but governments have clear tools to close the gap.

🚨 New piece in @nathumbehav.nature.com: We show that socioeconomic gaps in childcare access across the OECD are not mainly about lower demand. Many disadvantaged families want childcare but face barriers such as scarcity, costs, and complex procedures. Main takeaway: make access easier 📣
