Rising Infertility: A Looming Crisis in Digital Age

Here are some important points of discussion on the impact the kind of work at IT sector has on a woman's fertility and reproductive health, and ways to combat the adverse effects

Rising Infertility: A Looming Crisis in Digital Age

WOMEN'S contribution to Indian economic growth in last two decades has been unparalleled. While we applaud their participation on this Women's Day, let's put on spotlight on a growing but often ignored concern of declining fertility health among young women professionals. Information Technology sector, being one of the key pillars of India's economy, employs more women than men. Some studies indicate that about 46% of couples aged 31-40 in this sector are grappling with fertility-related health issues. Rising infertility among women in IT sector, therefore, has significant negative impact on economy, potentially manifesting as lower participation in future work force, increased health-care costs and many such outcomes.

How does work-related stress affect reproductive health?

Occasional stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes a constant burden — especially in high-pressure professions — its effects can extend beyond mental well-being, potentially impairing reproductive health. When the body perceives stress, the hypothalamus triggers secretion of certain hormones in the bloodstream, potentially leading to trip up ovulation in women.
