WORKER LEVEL DATA
Worker level data contains statistics on paid contact workers delivering a preschool program within the 2013 reference year. Data at the worker level includes educational qualifications, role and type of work activity, and information on whether the worker delivered, or assisted in delivering, a preschool program. It is possible for a single worker to be employed across multiple service providers. Worker level data did not include a unique identifier and as a consequence it can only be output as episodes of workers delivering preschool programs. See the Glossary, for further information on the concept of an ‘episode’.
EPISODES OF WORKER
Worker information is output in two tables within the Preschool Education, Australia, 2013 (cat. no. 4240.0) publication. These tables have been created to distinguish two different populations. The base population for the first table is broader than the second table, and is used to define worker. See Chapter 3: Concepts, Methods and Processes for the 2013 Collection definition of worker. The second table includes further disaggregation by role of worker.
More information on worker data items can be found in the National Early Childhood Education and Care Collection: Data Collection Guide, 2013 (cat. no. 4240.0.55.002).
Table 4.5 identifies the location of worker tables within the Preschool Education, Australia, 2013 (cat. no. 4240.0) publication.
