"Europe boasts the highest proportion of elderly women in the world. These women suffer discrimination in the labour market and their employment rate is much lower than that of men in the same age bracket. It is therefore important to ensure that discrimination against women over 50 is taken into greater consideration and combated effectively. Account should be taken of gender equality in the field of pensions. The conditions must also be put in place to enable older women to stay in the labour market and/or to rejoin it. Furthermore, violence against older women is, unfortunately, still an underestimated problem. It is therefore vital to combat all forms of violence. It would be a mistake to think that ageing is a negative thing that adversely affects the social development of society. As full members of society, older people are certainly not a burden, since they can contribute to our overall development, whether as stakeholders or as consumers."@en1
