"There is an urgent need to combat the increased risk of poverty in old age, with the group of women over 50 requiring particular attention, as it has the highest levels of poverty, unemployment, isolation and social exclusion. It is regrettable that the risk of poverty amongst older women has hit almost 22%. Indeed, the chance that women will, for family reasons, have careers that are shorter, interrupted or reduced to part time, and will receive lower average wages than men, ends up leading to differing pension contributions, which, in turn, increases the risk of poverty. It is crucial to promote policies that encourage active ageing and specific measures in the pensions sector, so as to ensure that women will have adequate incomes when they retire. Indeed, economic independence is a prerequisite for individuals to be able to exercise control over their own lives and to make genuine choices. More robust economic and social policies need to be developed and equipped with the mechanisms necessary for adequately managing the ageing process of the population and the inevitable changes that occur in society."@en1
