Women’s economic opportunityA new global index and rankingareas do not attend any form of pre-school and are looked after by family members. In most communities,social networks exist to take care of children. For middle-class Ethiopians living in urban areas, hiringchildcare (or more likely house help that also looks after children) is an affordable option because wagesare very low. This is similar to the situation in Ghana, where reasonable childcare can be easily foundthrough social networks if the extended family is unable to help. Early Childhood Development (ECD)programmes are widely available in urban areas and are provided by non-governmental organisations(NGOs), private providers and government agencies. However, the quality of ECD centres varies widely,and the number of children benefiting from these services remains low.19© Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 2010
