Abstract
A united child care and education workforce serving children under school age has many benefits but despite long held recognition of its advantages, progress towards this goal has been slow in many countries. This chapter traces policy trajectories towards, and away from, workforce integration in two countries, New Zealand and England, over the period 1986 – 2016. It takes three illustrative examples: workforce models, sector voices, and home-based ECEC, to document the complexities and tensions within integrationist shifts in early childhood education and care. New Zealand has made greater progress towards integration than England; nonetheless, sustaining unity is fragile.
