Absenteeism

Japanese: アブセンティイズム（英語表記）absenteeism

Absenteeism refers to the situation in which workers are absent from work on scheduled work days, in large numbers and continuously, without permission or for reasons that are not recognized as legitimate. It can also be translated as planned absenteeism or intentional absenteeism. Such absentees are called absentees. Such behavior is not organized, and there is no stated reason or goal, which makes it different from labor disputes. Absenteeism became a major social problem from the late 1960s to the 1970s, especially in developed Western countries.

Japanese:

労働者が勤務予定日に，無断でまたは正当とは認められぬ事由で大量かつ継続的に欠勤すること，ないしそうした状態をいう。計画的欠勤とか意図的欠勤と訳される。なお，そのような欠勤者がabsenteeである。かかる行動は組織的に行われるのではなく，またその理由，目標が表明されるわけでもなく，この点で労働争議とは異なる。アブセンティイズムは1960年代末から70年代にかけて，とくに欧米先進諸国で大きな社会問題となった。
