Diversity of menopause experience in the workplace: Understanding confounding factors

Abstract

Evidence suggests that menopausal transition can have a profound experience on women's work. However, there is a lack of contextually rich research identifying the range and diversity of factors that further details the multiplicity of women's experiences of menopausal transition at work. The review draws together four factors that provide a more detailed insight into factors that may impact working through menopausal transition. In light of this, more knowledge is needed to understand how low paid, precarious and insecure work impacts menopausal transition, as well as recognising the workplace experience of menopause transition for those identifying as LGBTQI+.
