"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation of women in the labour market before the crisis was not satisfactory. However, it was improving, despite difficult and perpetually unsolved problems such as differences in pay for the same work and under representation in managerial positions in business. These positive trends should not be left out of the discussion. A report from the Commission shows that since 1995, the contribution of women to economic growth in the EU has increased by a quarter, and that the female employment rate increased by 7.1% over the last decade and reached 59.1%. As a result of the crisis, unemployment is rising faster among women than among men. Women are employed, principally, in the public sector, so they are directly at risk from redundancies made due to cost-cutting policies. The anti-crisis mechanisms which are being applied are aimed at a quick return to employment mainly of people who lost their jobs as a direct result of the crisis, which ignores, for the time being, people who are permanently out of work. Forced by personal circumstances, women currently are more often taking work in part-time jobs which offer little job security. Aware of all these dangers, let us try to apply horizontal solutions in order to maintain the level of employment from before the crisis and not allow a downward trend."@en1
