Male Professionals in ECEC

In most countries worldwide, men are a small minority in the ECEC work force. In the last two decades, Germany has increased the proportion of male workers up to more than 8 percent. A national network supports regional working groups for men in ECEC (in German language).

On international level, the EECERA SIG gender balance supports research on gender issues in the ECEC work force.

Currently, an ongoing international project aims at developing strategies and measures for supporting men in the field.
