Where are you from? I'm guessing that how you interpret the title might depend on your native language/dialect.
Judging by the names of the authors, I'm guessing they're mostly Danish, or at least Scandinavian. As a native speaker of another Scandinavian language (Swedish), I understood the title as it was intended, but I'm not sure if the phrase "sickness absence" is the best way of expressing "absence due to sickness" to a native English speaker.
- kwhitefoot 9y agoBritish English would use "Sick leave". But I also speak Norwegian so perhaps that explains why it seemed unremarkable until I saw the comment above.
