Workplace presenteeism, job substitutability and gender inequality
Azmat, Ghazala; Hensvik, Lena; Rosenqvist, Olof - 2020
Following the arrival of the first child, women's absence rates soar and become less predictable due to the greater frequency of their own sickness and the need to care for sick children. In this paper, we argue that this fall in presenteeism in the workplace hurts women's wages, not only...

We study employee absence in Danish organizations. In contrast to Steers and Rhodes (1978), who stress the importance of individual and organizational characteristics in shaping employees' motivation to attend work, we show that absence is predominantly an individualized phenomenon. Because the...

Quantile regression estimates of the effect of student absences of academic achievement
