In Spain, the labor market has seen a significant increase in temporary disability claims across both public and private sectors. Public sector employees take 12.5% more sick leaves per 1,000 workers compared to the private sector, according to monthly average data. Both sectors have experienced a sharp rise in these claims. Meanwhile, self-employed individuals report nearly four times fewer work absences than employees working for others, with a downward trend over the past seven years.
