The results on absenteeism show that the average employee in
Germanic Europe is absent for 11 days per year – almost one and
a half times the amount of days employees in the Anglo region
are absent (7 days per year on average). The absenteeism rate per
sector seems to be fairly equally distributed, except for the sector
of social services, which shows 14 days per year. Looking at some
countries in more detail, Lithuania reports the highest degree of
absenteeism, with 19 days per year, reminiscent of the results on
turnover.
