Abstract

Taking as its starting point the feminisation of education and care work, this article examines the phenomenon of the male educators and teacher’s shortage in ECEC, workplaces where gender segregation is extremely pronounced. The article analyses the professional trajectories, narratives and turning points of ECEC professionals. Based on an unpublished part of a larger research study conducted between 2016 and 2022, the paper identifies possible actions to facilitate the outreach and recruitment of underrepresented professionals in the sector.
