"Although women’s poverty is a long-lasting reality, the issue has only relatively recently started to be tackled in a systemic way. The current economic, financial and social crisis that affects the European Union, as well as the rest of the world, is generating a series of specific negative effects, directly influencing women’s living and working conditions, and their place in society in general. This context projected to the top of the European Parliament’s agenda the necessity of a gender approach to poverty, in the report on the face of female poverty. At global level, women are poor by comparison with men. This is also the reality in each and every EU Member State, although one can identify specific differences depending on the country. Almost 17% of European women are ranked 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. At the same time, one can say that women’s contribution to the development of family, society and economy is regularly underestimated and underpaid."@en1
