儿童早期发展对个人能力的形成和健康成长至关重要,直接关系国家的人力资本水平和竞争力。儿童早期发展投资是重要的社会投资和反贫困途径,而非福利救济,具有巨大的经济和社会收益,投资越早,回报越高。无论对于2020年如期完成“脱贫攻坚”任务,还是中国未来实现发展转型,从富起来到强起来,迫切需要将儿童早期发展上升为国家战略,尽早建成“幼有所育”的儿童早期发展体系,加大投入力度,实现服务普惠,加快形成儿童早期发展的中国经验。
<<Early childhood development is vital to the formation and healthy growth of individual abilities,and influences on the country’s human resources and competitiveness. Early childhood development,rather than welfare relief,is an essential social investment and anti-poverty approach,which has huge economic and social benefits. The earlier the investment,the higher the return. Whether for the completion of the “poverty alleviation” task in 2020,or for China’s transformation from becoming rich to becoming strong,it is urgent to upgrade the early childhood development to a national strategy and establish an early childhood development system for all children’s education as soon as possible,with increased investment and inclusive services,forming the “Chinese own experience” for early childhood development.
