“…38 We consider a center to be closed when it is no longer in the most updated INFA administrative data. Araujo et al (2015) show that the centers whose agreements with the INFA had terminated in 2015 were those that in 2012 had, on average, lower levels of quality. 39 Araujo et al (2015) also showed that the correlation between CLASS and other measures of quality such as the Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory (KIDI), the Child Care Practices Scale from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), among others, were very low.…”

“…In recent years, several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have made a considerable investment in expanding child care coverage for young children (available in daycare centers, nursery schools and preschools); however, we know that the quality of these services offered in LAC is quite low (Berlinski and Schady, 2015;Araujo et al, 2015;Verdisco et al, 2010).…”

“…In an attempt to fill a void in the LAC literature, Araujo et al (2015) present a detailed analysis of different aspects of service quality at Centros Infantiles del Buen Vivir (CIBVs) in Ecuador. In 2012, researchers administered a battery of instruments that had already been used in other countries in the region to measure the quality of child care services provided to children under 3 years of age.…”

AbstractThis paper analyzes four instruments that are widely used to measure the quality of centers serving children ages 0 to 36 months -the CLASS, the ITERS-R, the CC-IT-HOME, and the MITRCC -and that were administered to a sample of 404 child care centers in Ecuador. We first assess the psychometric properties of these instruments in their first application in Ecuador. Specifically, we examine their internal consistency, test the underlying subscale structure by means of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), verify construct validity by testing associations with quality-related factors (e.g., child-caregiver ratio), and check concurrent validity of the instruments' total scores. We then explore how we can use the data from these instruments to inform the development of a simple, less costly checklist that programs in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) can employ to monitor service quality. To that end, we look at the correlation of the separate subscales from the simpler measures (ITERS-R, CC-IT-HOME, and MITRCC) with each of the dimensions of the CLASS. In addition, we map the subscales of all of...

“…El sistema de voucher o subsidio a la demanda (Berlinski y Schady, 2015) y, en general, los "partenariados público-privados" 25 (Patrinos et al 2009) aparecen así como los mecanismos que por excelencia podrían incidir sobre la calidad de los servicios, mientras que las opciones de provisión pública-estatal o comunitariaaparecen como problemáticas (Araujo et al 2015). Sin embargo, como los propios autores tienden a reconocerlo, la evidencia empírica acerca de la efectividad de las APP en servicios de educación es reducida y en algunos casos arroja resultados mixtos.…”

El peso de las AsociacionesResumen 1 : Los arreglos institucionales a través de los cuales se implementan los servicios sociales pueden afectar la medida en que los derechos reconocidos son realmente ejercidos por las personas. Dado lo inexplorado de esta temática se realizó un catastro de los servicios sociales dirigidos a la infancia y a los adultos mayores en tres comunas de la región metropolitana de Chile. Se evidencia que la mayoría de los servicios sociales dirigidos a estos grupos son ejecutados bajo asociaciones público privadas (APP), que hay una presencia significativa de organizaciones no mercantiles así como gran heterogeneidad en los tipos de financiamiento de la provisión privada de los servicios y entre las institucionalidades comunales. La dispersión de la información y, en general, su inaccesibilidad justifican este tipo de estudio como primer paso para la evaluación de la calidad, equidad y responsabilización de los servicios, asuntos que imperativamente requieren ser analizados si se busca determinar la medida en que los servicios bajo APP logran hacer efectivos los derechos consagrados.Palabras claves: Asociaciones Público -privadas, políticas sociales, infancia, adultos mayores, derechos.Polis, Revista Latinoamericana, Volumen 16, Nº 46, 2017, p. 239-269 Polis, Revista Latinoamericana, Volumen 16, Nº 46, 2017 240 The weight of Public Private Partnerships in Services for Early Childhood and Elderly People. A Case Study in the Framework of RightsAbstract: The institutional arrangements through which social services are implemented can affect the way recognized rights are actually exercised by people. Given that this issue is unexplored, a cadastre of social services for children and elderly people was conducted in three municipalities of the Metropolitan Region in Chile. It evidences that the majority of social services addressed to these groups is carried out under public private partnerships (PPP), that there is a significant presence of non-market organizations as well as high heterogeneity in the types of funding for private services supply and among the municipal institutionalities. The spread of information and, in general, its inaccessibility justified this kind of study as a first step to the evaluation of quality, equity and accountability of services, issues that imperatively need to be analyzed if we seek to determine to what extent services under PPP manage to make effective the established rights.

“…Según nuestro conocimiento, de estas escalas, se han utilizado en investigación en América Latina, particularmente en Colombia, Ecuador, Chile y/o Brasil, los siguientes: CIS, CLASS y MITRCC. Este último contiene algunos aspectos que podrían considerarse estructurales, fue aplicado con adaptaciones al contexto latinoamericano por primera vez en Ecuador (Araujo et al 2015) pero no se presentan características psicométricas o de consistencia interna de la prueba. El CLASS es un instrumento que mide exclusivamente procesos, de manera más exhaustiva que otros y con altos índices de validez de la prueba y consistencia interna, a la vez que es complejo en su aplicación; solo fue aplicado en la versión para niños de 4-5 años y más en América Latina, además que su versión para niños menores de 18 meses (Infant CLASS) se encuentra en fase de desarrollo aun (Lopez Boo 2016).…”
