Challenges for Women
in Menopause at Work

Women in menopause are currently the fastest growing demographic in the workforce. This means that just as many women reach the peak of their careers – with experience, skills, and their highest earning potential – they are also faced with the significant challenges that menopause can bring.

Symptoms related to menopause lead many women to take sick leave, reduce their working hours, or even leave the workforce entirely. Recent studies also show that menopause-related symptoms have a substantial negative impact on work performance, resulting in increased costs – for individuals, employers, and society as a whole.

We are proud and grateful that Vinnova, Sweden’s Innovation Agency, has chosen to support MeWe&You and our mission to help women navigate menopause in working life through a digital app.
