Published: 09/2024
Periodicity: annually

This publication focuses on the current structure of Austria’s day care centres (crèches, kindergartens, after-school care clubs and mixed-age child care facilities). Trends are shown for the federal provinces based on time series of childcare facilities.  

The care of children in elementary educational institutions became a priority topic of educational and social policy in recent months. In this context the availability of resources, child care quotas and costs are examples of topics, which have been discussed with a head attention on regional aspects. This volume represents an important decision-making tool for institutional family policy and documents, broken down by province and type of child care. Data is provided on the number of day care centres (crèches, kindergartens, after-school care centers and mixed-age care centers), opening times, days of closure, etc. for the 2023/24 reporting year. The children looked after in day care centres are characterised by age, citizenship and length of attendance at the centre. For the first time, children with childminders are also included in the attendance rates and are shown as an extended attendance rate. The survey results are concluded by a staff table showing day care staff by age, employment status and gender.

With this publication, Statistics Austria continues a series that has been available since 1972. Based on the Federal Statistics Act 2000, this publication is published in cooperation with the federal provinces on direct order of the Federal Chancellery, Section VI, Families and Youth.

This publication is available in German only.
