Pour ce qui est de l'absentéisme, nous avons constaté que, toutes autres choses étant égales, les hommes et les femmes présentaient une légère différence en ce qui a trait aux congés de maladie payés, mais ne présentaient aucune différence en ce qui a trait aux autres congés payés et aux congés non payés, et la différence à l'égard des congés de maladie payés n'était pas importante : les femmes prenaient seulement un jour de plus que les ho
