According to the Federal Ministry of Health, older employees in Germany are on average sick for more than 30 days a year.
Germany is discussing a higher retirement age. However, new health figures show why longer work could become a problem for many.
More than 30 days a year older workers report sick - about twice as much as the average. This is reported by the Rheinische Post. In addition, 60- to 65-year-olds often fail longer.
60- to 65-year-olds are significantly more likely to be on the job than younger workers due to illness. Long-term illness is also increasing. The left sees this as a warning signal – and criticizes the coalition's pension plans.
This is what the coalition wants. But new data now show that those who are over 60 years old are more likely to report sick than younger colleagues. The left is strongly critical of the federal government.
