Question 12168 — children

Summary

Ms. Clémentine Autain draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, to the lack of places in childcare facilities and the need to set up a national early childhood service. The High Council for Family, Childhood and Age (HCFEA), in a report published in April 2018, sounded the alarm. On the one hand, the convention objectives and management for the years 2013-2017 was not respected. Of the 275,000 places for children under three to be created, only 41,700 places were actually opened in 5 years, or only 16% of the objective. However, the demand is very high. According to the HCFEA report, 61% of children under three years old are looked after mainly by their parents and 31% are looked after exclusively. This situation penalizes strongly women, who cannot continue their professional career calmly. On the other hand, the HCFEA estimates that, by 2022, it will be necessary to create at least 230,000 places at a cost of between 400 and 600 million euros. Finally, territorial inequalities remain significant, with certain wealthier territories having more childcare solutions than popular territories. Faced with this implacable observation, the creation of a national early childhood service appears essential and essential, to ensure equality for all regardless of their territory. She asks him what the Government's position is on this issue.
