"In the European Union, the number of older people is rising every year and the risk of poverty among women approaching retirement age is increasing. Furthermore, the employment rate and pay of women overĀ 55 are much lower than those of men of the same age. I therefore endorsed this own-initiative report, as it calls on the Member States and the Commission to improve the situation of older women and to take steps to include additional provisions in their legislation, in particular, by implementing the principle of equal pay for equal work, but also, with regard to pensions, by not penalising older women in their pension entitlements. This report also proposes tackling age discrimination, taking account of more vulnerable groups of women, ensuring that women can age in dignity, and bridging the digital divide that isolates them. Other measures are also proposed with a view to improving the provision of quality care services and to meeting the needs of families who have to take on responsibility for dependants."@en1
