0 true zero or a value rounded to zero
Notes: Staff for whom age was unknown (year of birth not reported) were excluded. To ensure the confidentiality of responses, a random rounding process is applied to the data. Since the total and subtotals are independently rounded, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values. Similarly, percentage distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.
