The sickness absence here is calculated as the number of employees aged 15-74 who have been absent mainly because of illness during the whole registration week in per cent om employees in total. As from 2006 the age limit to participate in the LFS was lowered from 16 to 15 years. At the same time the definition of age was changed from completed years at the end of the year to completed years at the time of the reference week. From the 1st quarter of 2015, the statistics on sickness absence is based on a new data source, A-ordningen. Therefore, there is a break in the series between 2014 and 2015.
