"Poverty and equality are two inverse variables in an economic projection. Actions aimed at making women fully active also produce a reduction in overall poverty.
In Europe, more than 17% of the female population lives in poverty. The economic and financial crisis has affected – and may further affect – these data, which are already striking. The fight against poverty is not always considered part of gender politics and this weakens its importance. The work of the relevant committees underlines the importance of taking account of these connections and, on that basis, analyses the possible actions. They are located conveniently within the EU 2020 strategy, which defines poverty as one of its five measurable objectives.
Starting from the three dimensions of poverty – gender, generational and geographical – the report by Mrs Plumb reveals its extraordinary solidity and especially its innovativeness in planning a process that will anticipate the adoption of austerity measures to combat the effects of the crisis. The seven areas of interest to facilitate the required systematic approach outlined in the report are well framed in this regard.
The positive nature of the proposal cannot leave the Commission, the Council or the Member States unmoved, and I expect a well-coordinated response from them."@en1
