While the exact rates vary from country to country, women take more sick leave from work than men.[1] [2] While some may suspect that women are taking additional sick leave to care for children, childless women take more sick leave than childless men. [3] One study reported that women take 50-70% more sick leave than men performing the same work in Norway.[4]
This is in contrast to widespread claims of manflu.
