UK bosses offer IVF and menopause benefits to tempt women to work

British companies are luring women into work by offering menopausal and miscarriage leave as part of an effort to fill vacancies during a period of widespread worker shortages.

Jobs advertising time off for a missed pregnancy soared nearly 3,000% over the previous year in March, while posts citing fertility benefits such as egg freezing and IVF treatment soared more than 700%, according to data provided to Bloomberg by the Adzuna employment site. Those who cite menopause leave doubled.
