".
In the world of work, women continue to be in a worse position than men throughout Europe. The problems include everything from salaries – the average pay gap is 17% – to measures to protect mothers. Women are often faced with the choice of having children or continuing to work. Therefore, work and family life must be made more compatible. Furthermore, women are more at risk of poverty than men and this has become clear in particular in our current difficult economic climate.
This hits women who choose to have a family particularly hard, which is unacceptable. We must take measures to enhance the status of housewives and mothers and to guarantee that sufficient resources are available to them. I have voted against the report, because it pays too little attention to the compatibility of work and family life and to the role of women as mothers."@en1
