UK PM Rishi Sunak considers stricter rules on long-term sick leave due to a rise in Britons leaving workforce.
UK PM Rishi Sunak considers stricter rules on long-term sick leave due to a rise in Britons permanently leaving the workforce, with labour force participation among working-age Britons at its lowest since 2015.
