Abstract

In recent years, East Asia has paid more attention to the low fertility rate and the aging of the social demographic structure, which has issued several policies and regulations to improve this trend. However, the effect of a series of pro-birth policies led by the three-child policy is not significant. This review investigates the changing trends of preschool education policies in countries or regions dominated by mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. Also, it analyzes the number of preschool children, kindergartens, preschool teachers, and government investment in the past decade. After reviewing previous research, it is found that the governments of various countries and regions in East Asia support the development of preschool education by issuing policies and increasing fund investment. Among them, all countries and regions except Japan have an upward trend during the development of preschool education. The study summarizes the main policy measures of various countries in East Asia and provides suggestions for the development of preschool teachers in mainland China.
