Report: Record High Number Leaving Work Due to Long-Term Illness Since 1990s” A recent report by the Resolution Foundation suggests that the number of people leaving the workforce due to long-term sickness has reached its highest level since the 1990s.
This trend has been ongoing for several years, even before the pandemic.
The rise in long-term sickness poses challenges to individuals’ living standards and career paths and puts strain on the NHS and welfare spending.
The government has introduced measures to boost the labor force, but concerns remain about the impact of long-term illness on economic inactivity.
The report highlights the need for improvements in healthcare and support systems to address this issue effectively.
