"I should like to congratulate the rapporteur, Ms Bauer, whose report I voted in favour of. Indeed, I am convinced of the need to implement targeted policies to support women who, as they approach retirement, are nearing the end of their professional careers.
One of the positive aspects of Ms Bauer’s text is that it focuses on a number of critical issues. Women approaching retirement age are subject to twofold discrimination: the labour market penalises them not only because of their gender but also because of their age and, in truth, women experience these disadvantages from the early stages of their careers. In order to compensate for this unfair disparity, it would be a good idea to encourage active policies that promote greater training opportunities and provide additional resources for reconciling work and family life.
In this vein, I think it would be useful to implement the approach to active ageing, which is a challenge enforced by better life expectancy as well as the current economic crisis, which requires everyone to do their bit. Therefore, we must hope that the oldest workers can remain in the labour market by providing them with suitable employment opportunities."@en1
