Child Care Workforce Study

The California Early Care and Education Statewide Workforce Study, a collaboration between the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment at UC Berkeley and the California Child Care Resource & Referral Network, is the first and only comprehensive survey of the licensed child care workforce in California. The survey identified the number of home-based and center-based staff working in licensed child care positions; the educational qualifications of this workforce, analyzed by age, languages spoken, and ethnic background; and wages and tenure of those working in licensed facilities. This project was generously funded by First 5 California.
