"I endorsed the report on the situation of women approaching retirement age. Age is currently the most common reason for not being given a job. Graduates are too young and do not have the experience, and the rest of society is, for the most part, too old. The situation is, indeed, particularly difficult for older people. In the Polish labour market, people approaching the age of 50 have limited chances of finding employment. At the end of December 2009, there were 391 672 people over 50 registered in Polish employment offices. This represents 20.7% of all unemployed people. Older women are in a particularly difficult situation. This group is characterised by its low participation in employment. Over half of women who are approaching retirement age remain outside the labour market. Considering the fact that in 2020, people over 60 will make up over 26% of society, getting older people back into work is a key task as part of action to help groups which suffer discrimination in employment to participate more fully in the labour market.
Therefore, I want, in particular, to draw attention to paragraph 10 of the report, in which Parliament calls on the Commission and the Member States to create conditions for older women to remain in and/or return to the labour market, to help them use their potential in the labour market, and to ensure that their rights are respected. It is also necessary to implement measures that encourage employers to improve their equal opportunities policies so that ageist attitudes towards older women are tackled."@en1
