dc.description.abstractThis study focused on the gender gap in sickness absenteeism in Central and Eastern European countries from 2010 to 2023. Eurostat data and the shift-share analysis (SSA) method were applied to assess the impact of regional, sectoral and local factors on changes in sickness absenteeism. The findings highlighted variations in the length of sickness absence among European countries, in relation to CEE region’s overall developmental status. Additionally, the study confirmed the significance of the research and the growing issue of the gender gap in sickness absence in CEE countries. The results of the SSA analysis indicate that gender inequalities in sickness absenteeism decreased in most countries during the period studied, but the COVID-19 pandemic increased these differences in some sectors. The study provides important information for policymakers and employers seeking to promote equality in the workplace and improve the health and well-being of employees.en
dc.description.abstractNiniejsze badanie skupiało się na analizie różnic płciowych w absencji chorobowej w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej w latach 2010–2023. W celu oceny wpływu czynników regionalnych, sektorowych i lokalnych na zmiany w absencji chorobowej wykorzystano dane Eurostatu oraz metodę analizy shift-share (SSA). Wyniki badania ujawniły zróżnicowanie długości absencji chorobowej w krajach europejskich w kontekście ogólnego poziomu rozwoju regionu Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Ponadto badanie potwierdziło istotność podjętej tematyki oraz narastający problem różnic płciowych w absencji chorobowej w krajach tego regionu. Wyniki analizy SSA wskazują, że nierówności płciowe w absencji chorobowej zmniejszyły się w większości krajów w badanym okresie. Badanie dostarcza istotnych informacji dla decydentów politycznych i pracodawców, którzy dążą do promowania równości w miejscu pracy oraz poprawy zdrowia i dobrostanu pracowników.pl
