"I voted in favour of this report, because we must overcome female poverty that has deepened during the financial and economic crisis. Almost 17% of European women are classed as living in poverty; considering the indicators relating to the labour market and social protection, the structural causes of poverty have a disproportionate effect on women. During the recession, salaries fell dramatically in sectors dominated by women or women lost their jobs altogether. Furthermore, due to lower salaries, women reaching old age receive lower pensions and consequently often face poverty. Female poverty that has become particularly widespread during the recession, especially poverty among single mothers, has a direct impact on child poverty, because now, around 20 million children live in poverty in Europe. As the contribution made by women to the development of family, society and economy is regularly underestimated and underpaid, it is crucial to adopt measures to reduce female poverty."@en1
