AbstractWe are interested in mapping the level of childcare services in Lombardia. As a first step, we focus on modeling the flows across municipalities, measuring the number of children that moves from a municipality to another one for using childcare services. Then, we model the coverage rate as the ratio between the number of childcare services and the number of children in a given municipality using a zero-inflated spatial Poisson regression model, providing a model-based map of the level of services in the region. Results allow to approximate the level of services in Lombardia, providing preliminary insights on how resources should be addressed to improve such an aspect.
