Study finds women who struggle with menopause symptoms are more likely to quit their jobs

New research found that women experiencing menopausal symptoms were more likely to consider leaving their jobs. However, women with lower incomes reported lower intentions to leave, likely because financial constraints made it difficult for them to resign regardless of the severity of their symptoms. The research also states that having less desire to work and job dissatisfaction were linked to moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms. Medical director for The Menopause Society, Stephanie Faubio, said these findings highlight the importance of providing appropriate workplace resources for women during the menopause transition.
