Sickness absence by age and gender
The 2 charts below look at the proportion of sickness absence by age range and gender for the period under review and compare that with the proportion of the workforce by age range and gender as at 31 March 2023. There are no huge discrepancies between the proportion of sickness absence that each age range and gender within that age range represent when compared to the proportion of the workforce that they represent. Females aged 55 – 59 have a 2.5% greater share of sickness absence than the percentage of the workforce that age range and gender combination makes up, and females aged 50 – 54 have a 2.2% greater share of sickness absence, but those are the largest discrepancies.
eESS does not allow for non-binary or third genders, and the charts only show Female and Male.
