- the main type of work activity and main role for paid workers during the reference period;
- the field and level of highest qualification relevant to ECEC for paid contact workers during the reference period; and
- the number of hours worked in the delivery of a preschool program for paid contact workers who delivered a preschool program during the reference period.
