Mental health conditions and pregnancy-related complications are the most cited reasons for being absent for over a month, survey shows
Mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety disorders, and pregnancy-related complications like severe morning sickness were the main reasons women called in sick for periods longer than 30 days, The Japan Times reported on Monday, citing a survey conducted by the Japan Institute for Health Security.
Yukari Taniyama and other researchers from the institute looked into sick leave cases from 2012 to 2021 involving around 100,000 employees at companies headquartered in east-central Japan. They categorised the incidence of illness or injury that caused extended sick leave by sex, age and cause.
