Nearly half of female workers between the ages of 40 and 55 have contemplated looking for remote jobs so they can more easily deal with menopause symptoms, a new survey finds.
In the survey commissioned by fertility benefits company Carrot, 47% of respondents said they would consider looking for remote or hybrid work because of menopause symptoms. Nearly a third of the women surveyed said they’d think about shifting to part time from full time work, while 22% said they’d consider retiring early.
