Menopause and the WorkplaceIs there an association between menopause and the workplace?

In EMAS Menopause in the Workplace the European Menopause and Andropause Society (EMAS) explain:

“In 2026, the global female population is over 4 billion. Women comprise a significant portion of the workforce worldwide, and many will continue to work throughout their menopausal years.

Women with severe menopause symptoms may exit employment or reduce their working hours, with a negative effect on income and security in later life. For employers, this means the loss of experienced staff with valuable skills and talent”.2
