„The prestige or social status of the ECEC profession [Anm.: ECEC = early childhood education and care] plays an important role in attracting new candidates to the profession. This partly relates to the level of public investment in the sector, which reflects the extent to which societies perceive ECEC, and therefore its staff, as contributing to the public good.“
