"I have read the motion for a resolution on the situation of women approaching retirement age, and would like firstly to congratulate the rapporteur. It is a significant and very important subject, because an ever increasing number of women over the age of 50 are being affected by the double problem of discrimination on the basis of their age and their sex, and they are more and more often becoming part of a group of isolated older people. In the light of the facts and statistics referred to by the rapporteur, the fact that the year 2012 has been designated as the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between the Generations should be all the more welcomed. In Poland, too, action is being taken to raise the vocational qualifications of women and enable them to begin an active life at a more advanced age. In many towns and cities, training is being held for older women, including training in computer skills and bookkeeping skills, and careers advice is being offered. Considering the fact that the proportion of the population aged 65+ is projected to increase from 17.4% in 2010 to 30% in 2060, such action should be intensified yet further, so as to make it possible for every woman to improve her vocational qualifications and sustain an active life."@en1
