Is the menopause a women’s issue only?

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. DOI: 10.48720.IAB.FOO.20261016.0" (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
