The global impact of menopause on productivity is costing businesses over $150 billion a year

We’re living and working longer. Menopause contributes to the gender pay gap because women retire 7.4 years earlier than men, often during their prime leadership years.

 

Despite intending to retire around the age of 64, the average age of retirement for women is 52.

45% of those who retire before 55 report their own sickness, injury or disability as the reason.

 

Acting now to keep these experienced people in work is more important than ever – 81% of women aged between 45-54 are in paid employment.

 

In 1980, this figure stood at just 47%.
