"The term ‘entrepreneurship’ has become generalised and commonplace, and is applied widely. This is not innocent. ‘Entrepreneurship’ represents the concept of creating your own job; the idea that employment or the lack thereof is not a social problem to which society and the state – its organised expression – should seek solutions, but a problem exclusively of the individual – a problem for them to resolve in whatever way is within their physical and mental capabilities. The gradual introduction of this concept is inseparable from the erosion of labour relations, and from the concrete and real loss of jobs, particularly through the destruction of productive sectors, as is happening in Portugal. The situation of women, who, in many cases, continue to experience unfavourable positions and suffer discrimination at all levels in the workplace, is of particular concern.
Let us not forget the gap between the average wages of men and women, which is around 18% and which the crisis is tending to exacerbate. This report leaves many of these issues to one side and is crippled by a number of contradictions, so we did not vote for it. We recognise the importance of supporting micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, but we cannot forget the increasingly significant situation of the false self-employed who, in truth, constitute an open door to precarious employment conditions."@en1
