"Despite the efforts made in the struggle for equality between women and men, women today are still at greater risk of poverty (17%) than men (15%); this difference is greater in the case of older people (22% of women compared to 17% of men). The greater risk of poverty affecting women is, in part, due to the disparities in wages between women and men. This pay gap continues to be around 18% in the European Union, which has repercussions on income throughout life, on social protection and on pensions. This report, which deserved my support, calls on the Member States to take into account the gender dimension in their plans for recovery from the recession by promoting and boosting the employment of women, the targeted inclusion in the labour market of flexible hours, wage equality, and the review of tax and pension systems."@en1
