Abstract: A phenomenon clearly distinguishes men from women as regards work places: absenteeism. The current literature establishes as an unquestionable fact that women are more absent from work then men. To explain the discrepancies between men and women absenteeism rate, some researchers highlight off-work determinants such as family responsibilities (duties). Actually, the connexion between family responsibilities and absenteeism is not clearly established. On the other hand, other researchers point up factors related to the functioning of the work place: work organization, working conditions, work relations, job resources. We examine these factors and show that, within the working world, there exists an unheard-of boundary in France that depends on employee's sex. Work organization, working conditions, social relations and job resources are different depending on the employee's sex and are the main determinants of women absenteeism.
