"Labour force participation and absenteeism are issues of primary interest in Australia, particularly with ageing of the population and increasing prevalence of chronic disease. This report provides a conservative estimate of the annual cost to the Australian economy in terms of decreased participation in full-time and part-time employment, and lost participation due to absenteeism for persons who reported having a chronic disease, and loss to the labour force due to death from chronic disease."--P. vii.
