Corporate Fertility Benefit Programs Underway

As global infertility rates continue to rise, working women who bear the brunt of childbearing responsibilities are caught in a quandary between career advancement and procreation. They are forced to ask themselves . . . will they choose to have children or will they not?

Women, often referred to as "the other half of the sky," juggle multiple roles as primary caregivers, chief child bearers, and professionals. They must decide whether to have children during their prime reproductive years in their twenties and thirties or wait until their thirties and forties, when their lives are more stable. The former period is often when they're just starting their careers and need to focus on those careers while later, they've mastered their jobs but are on the verge of significant advancements. Amid this dilemma, many working women end up missing their optimal childbearing age. Busy work schedules, fast-paced lifestyles, and a lack of knowledge about reproductive health have left many professionals stuck in a predicament where they want to have children but find it difficult.
