Menopause costs the Canadian economy billions of dollars
Millions of Canadian women go through menopause every year, and activists argue that they lack the necessary support. A recent report from the Canadian Menopause Foundation indicates that lost workdays, decreased productivity, and lost income cost $3.5 billion annually.
Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. This means that two million members of Canada's workforce have this experience, and the lack of necessary support may have serious economic and psychological consequences. Most women who participated in a survey stated that they were unprepared for menopause and felt "surprised."
Earlier this year, Darlene Malcahy experienced a strange feeling. She couldn't concentrate or remember information, and her workplace productivity was declining. Malcahy later realized that these were symptoms of menopause. However, when she discussed this with her manager, he said he didn't know how to help. She said, "I felt very isolated and unsupported at work, so I was ultimately forced to take a leave of absence."
