Women are already making only 84 cents for a man's dollar. They also face additional profits, if they become mothers, in the form of the so -called “The child's punishment-With the recent results indicating a loss of $ 500,000 over 30 years.
A study now confirms that women are experiencing another decrease in profits at the end of their children carrying children, and the researchers called it “” “The penalty for menopause“
According to economists at the University of London University, Bergen University, Stanford University and Dilayer University, women suffer from a decrease of 4.3 % in their profits, on average, in the four years that followed the diagnosis of menopause, with a loss of losses to 10 % by fourth year.
To reach their conclusions until now, the researchers analyzed data at the population level from Sweden and Norway. The medical records that determined the date of the first menopause diagnosis of women born between 1961-1968, who were diagnoses related to menopause between 45 and 55.
About a third of the menopause women get an official diagnosis, says the main author and professor of Ucl Gabriella Conti luck, The focus on the study was on those who suffer from an actual medical diagnosis instead of a certain age period as a means of looking at something “visible and record” such as having a child (as with the child's punishment).
“So he does not say that every woman, when she has menopause, has a 10 % loss of wages – because many women have menopause and do not suffer from severe symptoms,” Conte. “Therefore, this looks at a woman with severe annual lines, meaning that she suffers from symptoms. Menopause, postmodern bleeding, and different different conditions.” Once the diagnosis is in place, researchers are usually found when different related cases are diagnosed, which affects the productivity of work.
“Therefore, for example, we see that these women are also diagnosed with symptoms related to fatigue, headache, migraine, feeling pressure and feeling depressed. And when you have this diversity of diseases, you may not be able to work as you were working before – you do not feel either, and your productivity may not be as it was before,” she says. She says find evidence of this, the researchers noticed working hours as a reflection of productivity.
They found that the decrease in profits during menopause was primarily driven by work.
The team said that the possibility of demanding the advantages of insurance of disability increased by 4.8 % in the four years that followed the diagnosis of menopause, indicating that the symptoms of menopause greatly affect the patterns of women's work.
Although the current results were limited to the Scandinavian states, Conte believed to be translated. She says: “My feeling is that, to the extent that you know that the symptoms are the same in different countries, and that biology is the same, it is possible that the extent of the punishment depends on the context – the context of health care, whether you have good access to care, whether you have a treatment, and the context of the workplace.” Their research shows that their research indicates that the positions of the workplace towards menopause plays a major role in these results.
“If you are able to absorb women (in menopause) and create a supportive workplace, it can make a big difference,” she says, for example, to a new UK certificate For menopause-friendly workplace-which does not count a single American company, CVS, from the certificate.
This is the reason, as a result of their lost results in wages, the researchers call for increased awareness of menopause-as well as best support and access to care.
Conte said in a press release. ))
Those who were affected by the decrease in the profits and hours that worked were women without a university degree, indeed they achieve less income.
“Graduate women tend to be average to be better aware of the symptoms of menopause and more aware of their treatment options,” Conte said. “This may mean that they are better equipped to adapt and continue working throughout the menopause.”
She added: “The results we have reached indicate that better information and improving access to care associated with menopause is very important to eliminate menopause and ensure that workplaces can better support women during this transition.”
