| Detailed definition |
Children cared for (by formal arrangements other than the family) as a proportion of all children in the same age group.
Formal arrangements are defined as the following services: pre-school or equivalent, compulsory education, centre-based services outside school hours, a collective creche or another day-care centre, including family day-care and professional certified child-minders. The care by family members, neighbours or non-certified childminders is therefore not included under this definition of ´formal arrangements´. |
