    Women have almost twice as many sickness benefits as men, according to a report from the Social Insurance Office.

    Women have more than twice as high a risk of long sick leave than men.

    – Women’s higher risk of becoming long -term -described is a combination of lack of equality in private life and deficiencies in the work environment, says Alma Wennemo Lanninger, analyst at Försäkringskassan in a press release.

    The risk of long -term sick leave is greatest in healthcare and care, where many women work.

    Women’s sick leave has been higher than men’s since the 1980s.
