Do sick leave days in Germany, totaling twenty per year, impact the country's economy?
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced strict measures to limit the rise in sick leave days for workers, which have reached approximately 19.5 days annually, compared to 13 days in 2018. These measures include the abolition of phone-based medical certificates starting in January, requiring employees to visit a doctor in person on the first day of illness, with the aim of reducing absences that are viewed as damaging to the German economy. These reforms come as part of efforts to revitalize the economy, which faces challenges such as global competition and energy costs, by improving the efficiency of the labor market and decreasing excessive absenteeism.
