Creating Healthier Workplaces for Women as They Age

Although the life expectancy of women currently exceeds that of men, women, on average, spend about twice as many years in poor health later in life.

This is due to a variety of physical, social, and environmental factors that affect women disproportionately, especially as they advance in age. Menopause, for example, increases women’s risk of conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis. And as women enter midlife (aged 45 to 60), they’re often endowed with an unequal share of caregiving responsibilities.

These dynamics are often present when women are at the pinnacle of their careers and cause some to drop out of the workforce early.

Join us for this collaborative webinar with ZS on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, at 12:00 PM ET, to discuss how we can support women in the workforce and close the gaps in health.

You’ll learn:

1. About barriers in the workplace and how they must be addressed to ensure all women can experience long, healthy and fulfilling lives
2. What life sciences companies can do to solve the many challenges aging women face within our healthcare system, workplaces and relationships
