Abstract
The focus of this study was on the implications of the expansion of employment opportunities in the ECD sector. The study involved a mixed-methods research design, including structured interviews and focus groups conducted with ECD service providers. The use of these methods aimed at exploring the readiness of the sector to expand and at gaining a bottom-up understanding of the possible implication, opportunities and challenges of expanded job creation in the sector through government's EPWP. In addition, a round-table discussion was conducted with senior policy makers. Specifically, the study involved ECD facilities that serve children under the age of five.
