Inhaltsangabe

In an increasingly global world, the quality and competence of future populations hinge on the development of children born today. Nearly 220 million children in developing countries below age 5 are estimated to be at risk developmentally. Poverty, poor health and nutrition, and lack of stimulation have devastating and lifelong effects that are transmitted across generations. Early child development programs, which integrate nutrition, stimulation, and care, assure healthy development for children ages 0-7, especially those at risk. Investing in these programs may be the most important action the world can take to ensure its future vitality.

Reseña del editor

This publication is based on the discussions of an international conference, held in Washington D.C. in September 2005, the third in a series hosted by the World Bank to focus attention on the importance of investing in early child development (ECD). It summarises current developments in the fields of neuroscience, behavioural and social sciences on the topic, including the benefits for wider society and the rationale for greater investment, the findings of two longitudinal studies undertaken in the United States, country case studies of ECD monitoring programmes, and examples of innovative country funding strategies for ECD programmes.
