lpv:translated text	"The situation of older women is worrying from a socio-economic point of view. Indeed, major inequalities between men and women persist in many areas; they have a strong impact on women’s employment and, at the same time, on their pensions and, hence, on their incomes. This situation is all the more worrying given our ageing population in Europe: estimates today put the rate of informal carers of elderly people at 80%; these carers are very often women, who have to partially or completely give up their jobs in order to help their dependents even though they are already at a disadvantage in the labour market. As Europe’s population ages, it is highly likely that there will be a proportional increase in the percentage of this unpaid work, thereby affecting these older women’s pensions. The European Union must take measures to promote their work-life balance and so reduce their risk of poverty. Suitable support structures must therefore be put in place, and I welcome the work that Ms Bauer has done to achieve this."@en1
