lpv:translated text	"I supported this report, which confirms the fact that the proportion of elderly people is very high in European society in comparison with the rest of the world, and is continually increasing. The proportion of elderly women is particularly high, and many of them must practically manage on their own, because men have a lower life expectancy. The present situation in which elderly women experience at least double discrimination in the labour market due to both gender and age is particularly regrettable, and as a result, it is unfortunately a reality that many women in Europe live in poverty. Europe must take immediate and concrete steps if we wish to ensure that we have a sustainable and developing society. Elderly women are a resource and not a burden, and we must increasingly involve them in the labour market, particularly in the social sphere. We must also value their important role as the guardians of the family. Europe must supplement pension-related legislation with the option of obtaining a widow’s pension, in order to reduce women’s risk of poverty."@en1
