EMAS Menopause in the Workplace

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.

Thus, EMAS is leading in health and wellbeing frameworks and policies to incorporate menopausal health as part of the wider context of gender and age equality and reproductive and post-reproductive health.

Join us on 7 September for our live World Menopause and Work Day webinar

Research, policy, and practice from across Europe and beyond, in one session. Open to all.
