lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report. All indicators show that, at global level, women are poorer than men on average. In times of economic recession, people who are at risk of falling into poverty become even more vulnerable, and the majority of these are women. The report acknowledges that the austerity measures being applied throughout the EU will have particularly devastating effects on women, particularly those already facing numerous disadvantages. The pensions of a considerable proportion of European women aged over 65 are a pittance. Poverty among women is not just the result of the recent economic crisis, but is also the consequence of other factors resulting from discriminatory gender stereotypes, from the pay gap between men and women, and from barriers to proper reconciliation between family and work life, which is particularly serious in the case of single-parent families. These result in the ‘feminisation of poverty’, which urgently needs to be combated."@en1
