"Madam President, the labour market is certainly one of the areas where there is discrimination against women. Women are not adequately guaranteed the right to work and the percentage of unemployed women in Europe is increasing. Young women entering the labour market and women at pre-retirement age who are pushed into part-time work are discriminated against most. Women over 50 are discriminated against most purely on account of their age, gender and health. However, let us not forget that older women provide a huge benefit to society. They take care of their families, children and grandchildren, and often take part in voluntary activities. Most European women have worked all their lives and it is unfair that they are denied this right, if they are not prevented from working by their health in old age, and if they have decades of experience. It is precisely for this growing population group that the risk of poverty and social exclusion is growing. I therefore urge the Commission, in the spirit of the upcoming Year for Active Aging, to take the necessary measures to keep them in the labour market, including the provision of social security, pensions and health care."@en1
