"I voted in favour of the report on women and business leadership that has been adopted by Parliament. This report is based on studies by the Commission and the private sector which have demonstrated the benefits of improving female representation in corporate management.
If we were to leave the situation to develop at its current pace, it would be 50 years before women made up 40% of management boards. We therefore need to speed things up.
That is why Parliament has emphasised the need to develop high-quality services providing care for children, the elderly and other dependents so as to allow women and men alike to achieve a better balance between work and family life.
The Member States and the Commission are invited to take measures to combat stereotypes and change existing perceptions of women, but also women’s perception of their place in the workplace. One priority must be to tackle the enduring gender pay gap that is caused in part, although only in part, by the stereotypes that affect career development.
All that remains is for Member States to put Parliament’s recommendations into practice."@en1
