flag Canadian employers urged to expand fertility benefits amid high costs and limited access.

flag Canadian employers are being urged to expand fertility benefits as rising costs and limited access make family-building difficult for workers. flag Despite one in six couples facing infertility, only a small fraction of births result from treatments like IVF, largely due to high out-of-pocket expenses and inconsistent provincial coverage, which often funds just one IVF cycle. flag While some large companies offer partial support—typically for medications—most provide little or no coverage, compared to over 42% of U.S. employers. flag Experts say expanding employer-sponsored benefits could improve employee well-being, retention, and productivity, especially as fertility struggles remain a hidden but widespread challenge.
