Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine trends in labour market participation among those with long-term part-time or long-term full-time sickness absence. METHODS: Finnish population-based cohort study including 3406 individuals with >30-day part-time sickness absence in 2011 and 42,944 individuals with >30-day full-time sickness absence in 2011. RESULTS: Compared to previous years, the rates of sickness absence and vocational rehabilitation increased after 2011 in both groups. Sickness absence rate was higher in 2012 in the full-time sickness absence group than in the part-time sickness absence group. An increasing trend in unemployment after 2011 was observed in both groups, but the absolute level of unemployment was higher in the full-time sickness absence group. CONCLUSION: Long-term part-time sickness absence seems to mark a decline in labour market participation, but the decline is smaller than that in employees with full-time sickness absence.
