"When talking about women in industry, we should also be talking about education, research, and entrepreneurship. In the Committee on Women's Rights we’ve had a presentation from the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy concerning the role of women in industry. 15% of people with higher education are women. In 2006, women made up 33% of the total number of European researchers and only 18% of researchers operating in the private sector. However, it should be emphasised that only 28% of women researchers have children. Wages are higher in industry, particularly in the oil and chemicals industries, transport, electricity, and the automotive industry.
However, throughout Europe there is a gender gap as far as payment is concerned (roughly 20% in corporate management and 19% in engineering/science). 34% of women working in industry have children and we should stress that only 20% of industrial entrepreneurs are women. Therefore, we should concern ourselves more with women’s education and training and in particular with child-care facilities."@en1
