and age-integrated
institutions)
Most children are cared for at home for most of their first year after birth, while the
parents are on maternity and paternity leave. At age 6, most children start
attending
school. Under 10 per cent of children attend pre-primary education after the age of 6,
which signifies the transition into primary and lower secondary education.
For children of a non-western origin, the attendance ratio is approximately 10 percent-
age points lower than for children of Danish origin. In total, 81 per cent of the 1-5 year
old children of a non-western origin attend pre-primary education (2010),
ranging from
62 per cent in the municipality with the lowest attendance ratio to 97 per cent in the
municipality with the
highest attendance ratio
54
.
In the
last seven years, more children have attended age-integrated institutions while
attendance in kindergarten and day care in private homes have been in recession. The
total number of children (age 0-6) declined during these years from around 312,000 in
2007 to around 302,000 in 2013 in the institutions below.
