🇺🇸 Spoke yesterday at @foreignpolicy.com's Her Power Forum at #UNGA81 on the economics of menopause, with Carolyn Harris MP @ Sen. Lori Urso. 3 points. The penalty is real and measurable; costing is only half the job; what's missing is evaluation. 📹 5:22 and 22:00: vimeo.com/1228910907/889eed454d

La menopausa arriva all’apice della carriera. Ed è lì che molte donne perdono terreno. 📉 Ma la penalità non è un destino biologico: informazione, cure accessibili e welfare aziendale possono evitarla o ridurla. Ne ho parlato con Liana Zorzi X Lynda 🎥 hellolynda.com/menopausa-e-...

🛑 In Brussels this Tuesday - for “Turning Momentum into Action,” hosted by The Parliament with Besins Healthcare— I made one argument: The #menopause #penalty is not biology. It’s biology meeting a system that fails to support women. 🧵👇

Great to see our report in the BBC coverage of the crisis in health visiting in England: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is not just about fewer Health Visitors, but about major changes in workforce composition. Our report also gives detailed costing 👉🏻 discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10...

Menopause has real consequences for women’s health, work, and earnings. Glad to see out work on “The #Menopause #Penalty” cited in today’s New York Times Opinion piece by Gillian Goddard, which gets an important point exactly right: hormone therapy does not need to promise longevity to be worth it.
