"From a humanitarian perspective, we should improve services and healthcare for and increasingly empower a rapidly growing sector of our population – elderly women –since they, like any other Europeans, have the right to lead a healthy, dignified and independent life. From an economic perspective, we should strive for higher employment levels and more flexible and part-time work opportunities for ageing women. Tapping into this often neglected source of potential and experience will prompt economic growth, reduce old age poverty, improve the overall living standard of pensioners, and enhance societal cohesion. I voted for this resolution in the hope that tackling these issues with a two-pronged approach would open a path to addressing the more rudimentary but not less eminent problems of gender and age inequality in workplace, undervalued and undercompensated caretakers, and ultimately, our society’s ingrained preference for style over substance when solving gender and age related issues. Age, gender and ageing loved ones should always be treated as assets, never as liabilities."@en1
