Debunking media and political narratives isn’t always about proving stats to be false.

It is often about adding context and detangling carefully woven language and conflations.

Keep your eyes peeled for this in future👀

Some take home messages:

📍Civil servants have similar (if not fewer) sick days than the wider population in general

📍Working from home is more likely to lead to fewer sick days and greater productivity

📍The term “Civil servants” is NOT interchangeable with “public sector”
