"The current economic and financial crisis has also seen a rise in the number of precarious jobs being carried out, especially by women. The permanent jobs which have been lost during the economic recession will certainly not be restored, but will be replaced by atypical and very atypical labour contracts. This will result in a sharp deterioration in the level of working conditions. Across the EU, 31.5% of women work part time (30 hours or less per week), compared with just 8.3% of men.
I believe that the sustainability of the pension system, loan facilities for self-help projects and job creation and alternative income creation schemes can improve conditions for precarious women workers.
I call on the European Commission and Member States to devise viable strategies on precarious work, with the focus on creating decent, green jobs and incorporating the principle of gender balance. I urge every Member State to introduce clear measures to reduce the gender pay gap by 10% by 2020, including the pension gap, in order to improve living standards, fight poverty and boost economic growth."@en1
