Why corporate America should pay for women to freeze their eggs

As inflation drives up costs, women face a unique financial burden known as the “egg freezing tax.” In 2023, over 40,000 women opted to freeze their eggs, a method that offers more control over when to start a family. This trend is growing due to declining fertility rates, delayed family planning, and more women choosing single motherhood.

The expense disproportionately affects women, highlighting the need for better support and policies to address this growing concern.
