The aim of the project is to study men's trajectories within the ECEC sector in 12 different countries. Achieving a gender balanced workforce in ECEC (early childhood education and care) is of major concern to scholars and educational policy makers around the world. While the number of men in the workforce is slowly increasing, there is concomitantly a high dropout rate among men who choose the profession both from their studies as well as from the workplace.
As such it provides crucial information to scholars, policy makers, and others who support achieving a gender balanced ECEC workforce.
