Germans call in sick more than 20 days per year on average, much more than workers in other EU countries.

Without the increase in sick days, the German economy could have grown by around 0.5% in 2023, instead of retracting by 0.3%, a study by pharma industry association vfa estimated last year.

By data alignment I mean do you think France/Austria/others are having just as many sick days but they are not being counted?

Compared to France you were still quite high, but France does not have any data since 2018? Why? But even back in 2018 you had more than double that of France and Estonia etc

It looks like Germany and Czechia have significantly higher sick days compared to everyone else

For the downvotes: I am ok with this, I am more interested in the discussion on why Germany appears to rank so high in sick days (also Czechia as well)
