Abstract

This paper analyzes the characteristics of the factors determining assistance to public programs for early chilhood in Ecuador. The study begins with a review of the literature where the origins of early childhood progrmas ande current legislation are presented. Additionally, the Ecuadorian context early childhood is reviewed. Subsequently, the section is developed using empirical data for the Survey of Living Condition of 2013-2014. In estimating a Probit model is used to determine the probability of attending a public child development program. The results suggest that the modalities of the program and child´s age are heterogeneously influenced by the individual, mother, home, and geographical´s characteristics.
