Abstract

[fre] En 1978, l'absentéisme représentait environ 20 jours ouvrables par an et par salarié. Ce chiffre moyen a sans doute baissé depuis. Les femmes ont la réputation de s'absenter plus que les hommes. En fait, si on exclut les congés maternité, la différence semble assez faible. Par contre, la différence de qualification apparaît comme un facteur influent. Les salariés les moins qualifiés sont plus souvent absents, sans doute parce que leur travail est plus pénible, qu'ils le valorisent moins, qu'ils se préoccupent moins de prévention en matière de santé. Autre constatation nette, on s'absente plus dans les grands établissements; la protection sociale y est meilleure, mais cette explication ne paraît pas déterminante. [eng] Absenteeism : the weight of collective factors - In 1978, absenteeism represented around 20 work days per year and per wage-earner. Since then, this average figure has no doubt dropped. Women have the reputation for being absent more than men. In fact, with the exclusion of maternity leave, the difference seems rather small. On the other hand, differences in qualifications appear to be an influential factor. The least qualified wage- earners are absent more often, no doubt because their work is harder, because they attribute less value to it, and because they are less concerned with preventive health care. Another clear finding : workers are absent more in large establishments. Social protection is better there, but this explanation does not appear to be decisive. [spa] Ausentismo : el peso de los factores coiectivos - En 1978 el ausentismo representaba aproximadamente 20 dias laborales al ano y por asalariado. Esta cifra media bajó sin duda desde aquel entonces. Las mujeres tienen fama de ausentarse más que los hombres. De hecho, con exclusion del descanso prenatal y postnatal, la diferencia parece baja. En cambio la desemejanza de cualificación aparece como factor de influencia. Los asalariados de menor cualificación son los que suelen ausentarse con mayor frecuencia, sin duda porque su trabajon resulta más penoso, que lo valorizan menos, que se preocupan menos de prevenció en materia de sanidad. Otra constatación clara : en las grandes empresas hay mas ausentismo; en ellas, la protección social es más satisfaciente, pero esta explicación no parece ser déterminante.
