"The current financial crisis produces specific negative consequences that directly affect the lives of women, their work and their place in society.
Today, nearly 17% of European women live in poverty. Before any political strategy, there should be a comprehensive analysis that considers all aspects of gender: we believe that their integration into the labour market is crucial to tackling poverty and their social exclusion.
The promotion of a work-life balance, to help women who wish to pursue their own careers or to work full-time, is one of the fundamental factors in reducing female poverty and the risks they face.
We are asking for further measures to support working mothers, either by making it easier to find flexible forms of work, in terms of working hours, to enable them to fulfil their greater family commitments, or by providing adequate services for children, the elderly and other dependent family members.
We are convinced that the Europe 2020 strategy will achieve gender integration to improve representation and equal participation in the labour market, breaking the pattern of segregation and ensuring the presence of women in jobs at a higher level."@en1
