"Women’s participation in the labour market, covering a variety of levels of responsibility in companies, including management, today constitutes a crucial and central issue in the struggle for equal rights and opportunities. In fact, it is in this area that some of the worst discrimination takes place, such as the significant wage discrimination, especially in the private sector and, above all, in industry. Overall, there is a difference of around 18% between men’s and women’s wages in the EU as a whole.
The report gives particular emphasis to the issue of business leadership, on the basis of positive examples in some countries, specifically France, the Netherlands, Spain and Finland. It also covers the debates on the same issue in countries like Belgium, Germany and Italy. One of the proposals put forward in the report is that of setting a threshold for female membership of management bodies, which must be respected by companies. The reality is that the labour market cannot be separated from the inequalities that persist between men and women, which have been exacerbated by the current economic and social crisis."@en1
