„In all countries and subnational entities, staff who experience more stress are more likely to consider leaving the ECEC staff role [Anm.: ECEC = early childhood education and care] for mental or physical health issues, but also for a job outside the ECEC sector. […] The main sources of stress reported by staff include: having too many tasks to do at the same time; having extra duties due to absent ECEC staff, particularly in settings for children under age 3; and accommodating children with special education needs, particularly in pre-primary settings.“
