"I supported this report which urges the Commission to study the gender inequalities it identifies and further urges the Member States to help women to remain in the labour market, to make appropriate provisions in welfare systems, to gender assess pension systems and health care, and, moreover, to look into gender-related diseases during the year 2012, the Year of Active Ageing. The average European employment rate for women aged between 55-64 years is 37.8%, compared with 54.8% for men in the same age bracket. In some 21 Member States, the unemployment rate is higher for women than men. Indeed, the rate of part-time work is four times higher among women than among men (37%:12%). Furthermore, the gender pay gap is much higher at the end of women’s careers. Age discrimination against women over 50 is also reported much more frequently than in other age groups. Older men tend to remain outside the labour market mainly because of retirement, whereas with women, family responsibilities are the primary cause. However, older women still represent an important contribution to society in that they help care for their children and their grandchildren."@en1
