The Use of Estimates of Absence‐Proneness for Guiding Executive Action

Abstract

This article suggests a way of using past records of absenteeism to select members of a labour force who are suitable for special treatment because they are likely to be absence‐offenders in the future. The problem is a practical one and is so treated, and the argument is not difficult as statistical arguments go. Details of the method are the province of the statistician and are dealt with in an appendix, and in other papers to which reference is given.
