Enrolment rates in early childhood education and care (ECEC) refer to the percentage of children of a specific age group who are enrolled in ECEC programmes.
These rates are expressed as net enrolment rates, calculated by dividing the number of enrolled children in a given age group by the total population of that age group. The figures typically represent head counts and do not differentiate between full-time and part-time enrolment.
This indicator is measured as a percentage of the population in the specified age group.
