What: Journalist and author Shalene Gupta reminds us that unequal pay “is not the only way inequality manifests” among men and women in the workplace. Gupta points to a Deloitte survey that found 40% of women with high menstrual or menopausal pain just work through it. And 20% of women with fertility challenges who had to take time off from work feel like it hurt their careers.

Why it matters: Information like this—a baseline to even know where we are starting from—is a step towards having the conversations needed to address these challenges.
