The Women's Organisation (TWO) in Liverpool are concerned about women in the UK, at the peak of their careers, leaving their jobs in alarming numbers, blaming a "lack of employer support during their menopause".
World Menopause Day was marked on October 18. There is a financial cost to the economy over the menopause as women are having to prematurely quit their jobs. Many reportedly feel they have no choice to leave their job because there is no help available.
The menopause age defined by the NHS is 45 - 55 and around four million women, out of those who make up almost half of the UK workforce are currently in peak menopause age. Often in senior roles, their experience and institutional knowledge is irreplaceable to their employers.
