"Given the ageing European population, the balance of national retirement systems and taking responsibility for dependency are considerable challenges for the EU. Europe must act quickly and decisively to avoid rapid weakening of its social model and increasing impoverishment of its elderly population, particularly women, since women are more likely, according to statistics, to live in poverty than men.
I support Mrs Pietikäinen’s report, which, in particular, calls for measures to be taken to tackle age discrimination more effectively at work, particularly against women. Moreover, I am in favour of supporting intergenerational solidarity with, for example, plans to support women who care for grandchildren while the parents are absent due to employment reasons. Lastly, I support the idea of increasing coherence in the area of social security, including pension schemes, care leave and part-time working arrangements."@en1
