The 2011 edition of this publication provides up-to-date benchmark data on work absences for personal reasons—that is, illness or disability, and personal or family responsibilities. It is based on data from the Labour Force Survey and uses the National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S) 2006 and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Absence rates for 2011 are provided by sex, age, education, presence of children, industry and occupation, firm size, job tenure, job permanency, unionization, province, and census metropolitan area.
Time series from 2001 to 2011 (excluding maternity leave) are provided. However, men on paid paternity (in Quebec only) and parental leave are included in the calculation till 2006. Time series going back to 1987 are available in CANSIM series 282-0029, 282-0030 and 279-0029 through 279-0039.
