| Description |
Women are underrepresented as a percentage of the total naval force. They are not only recruited at a lower percentage than men but they are also retained at a lower level—nearly 30% fewer women than men remain in naval active service beyond the 10-year mark, as noted by former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter during a 2016 Force of the Future Reforms press briefing. A major contributing factor in both the lower recruiting and retention rates is the perception of a conflicting interest between naval service and starting and raising a family. In this study, we explore the costs and benefits of the U.S. Navy adopting a policy to allow women within the naval service to take advantage of oocyte cryopreservation (OCP, or “egg freezing”) as a tool to increase female officer retention. We also examine public companies that have already implemented OCP programs to the benefit of their female employees, analyze the impact women have on organizational performance, review ethical and religious outlooks toward OCP, examine the costs associated with the procedure, and attempt to estimate how much this policy change would cost the U.S. Navy. We conclude that the Navy could benefit greatly from the implementation of an OCP program: in general, it is more cost-effective for the Navy to pay for OCP, as OCP is cheaper than recruiting and retraining replacement personnel. Subjects: female; retention; recruitment; oocyte; cryopreservation; egg; freezing; family; in vitro fertilization |
