„Greater participation of disadvantaged children in early childhood education and care (ECEC) can help improve both efficiency and equity in education. […] Data indicate that children who attend preschool education are less likely to become low-performing students in most OECD member countries, with the impact in Austria being relatively large. Other evidence for Austria points to positive effects of preschool attendance on later educational attainment, on the probability of working full time, and on hourly wages. In particular, disadvantaged groups such as native-born descendants of immigrants or people with less educated parents benefit more.“
