Title: | Has a National Policy Focus on Early Childhood Made a Difference for Indigenous Children? An Analysis of LSAC Data | Contributor(s): | Sims, Margaret (author) ; Phan, Huy (author) | Publication Date: | 2013 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/14176 | Abstract: | The Australian policy environment has undergone significant changes with a move towards evidence-based policy development. It is in this climate that the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) began collecting data. The study began in 2003 with 2 cohorts of children (birth-1 year and 4-5 years) and the 5th wave of data collection occurred in 2011/12. In this analysis we use the data from the first wave of data (collected in the 6 months between August 2003 and March 2004) and the third wave, collected in the 9 months between July 2007 and April 2008. This latter was a time when a range of initiatives addressing Indigenous disadvantage through early childhood interventions had been in operation for some time: both early childhood and Indigenous policy was strongly focused on the quality of early childhood service provision, with a strong focus on evidence-based service development. In this paper we present a comparison of outcomes for Indigenous and non-indigenous Australian children who have grown up in these 2 different policy eras. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Child Care and Education Policy, 7(2), p. 33-52 | Publisher: | Korea Institute of Child Care and Education | Place of Publication: | Republic of Korea | ISSN: | 1976-5681 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130102 Early Childhood Education (excl Maori) | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 390302 Early childhood education | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 939903 Equity and Access to Education 930501 Education and Training Systems Policies and Development |
