Abstract	The UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre's report refers to the developments in early childhood education in the past decade. Comparing empiric research data and statistics from 25 different countries, it states a majority of under six year old children in economically advanced societies, especially in the countries of the OECD, spending a significant part of childhood in out-of-home childcare. At the same time, the report points to the progress in the scientific understanding of early brain development. According to this perception, it classifies the social trend as a possible threat for the important quality of care and interaction in the earliest years of a child's life. Drawing on academic and governmental expertise, the study proposes ten benchmarks by which progress in early childhood education and care might be monitored and compared across the countries of the OECD. These benchmarks can pave the way for the establishment of minimum standards for early childhood services in OECD countries and beyond. (DIPF/ts).
