Is the menopause a women’s issue only?
By Carola Burkert, Dana Müller, Hannah Steinberg and 1 others.
Abstract
Results from an IAB survey paint a strikingly clear picture: menopause is predominantly viewed not as an exclusively female or private issue, but as a topic that is relevant to both women and men. This should also serve as a signal to employers, as menopausal symptoms can impact women’s labour market participation.
