"The feminisation of poverty is a phenomenon which is observed and encountered ever more frequently both within Europe and outside its borders, and it occurs as a result of age, family responsibilities, ethnic origin and violence against women, among other factors. The high percentage of women employed in low paying or part-time jobs means that more women than men live on the verge of poverty.
Research should be stepped up at European level into this phenomenon, since research will make it possible to establish precise and effective methods for combating poverty and social exclusion among women. The basic method used to help women break out of poverty should be the addition of a corresponding focus to employment policy (flexible employment methods, career guidance, ensuring the provision of training to obtain higher qualifications and measures aimed at women living in rural areas).
Education also plays a very significant role in combating this problem. The EU’s financial potential should be exploited to this end, and particular emphasis should be placed on linking gender issues to plans for exiting the economic crisis and effectively implementing the Europe 2020 strategy. EU measures in this area should be an expression of social solidarity."@en1
