"Madam President, this report focuses on women approaching pre-retirement age, the age between 55 and 64 years. It is alarming that in 21 Member States of the European Union the employment of women in pre-retirement age compared to the employment of males of the same age is up to 20% lower. The existence of such gender inequality against women nearing the end of their careers is a possible cause of a number of negative social impacts. Overcoming gender discrimination, particularly after the age of 50, should therefore be a priority for Member States with regard to the social and legal protection of their citizens so as not to weaken the role of women in the labour market. I therefore call on the Commission to ensure the establishment of rules for Member States which will help women remain in the labour market and which will also consistently modify social systems by eliminating gender discrimination, particularly in the area of pension systems."@en1
