"Removing the obstacles to female entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized enterprises: that is the essence of the resolution adopted this lunchtime by a large majority of the European Parliament. The figures are striking: in Europe, one in four working men is an entrepreneur, compared with only one in ten women. The obstacles are, however, well known: less social protection for the self-employed, fewer rights, more risks, and greater difficulty in achieving a work-life balance. The Member States have everything to gain from exploring new ways of creating jobs: promoting female entrepreneurship is part of this approach. They would be well advised, for example, to promote underused sources of finance, such as the Progress Microfinance Facility, a European tool enabling people who want to start their own business but do not have access to traditional banking services to obtain loans of up to EUR 25 000. Our resolution also discusses the need to extend the ‘Erasmus for young entrepreneurs’ programme, which enables young people to work for six months with experienced entrepreneurs in another EU country: a genuine passport to training for our young people and a worthwhile gamble on the future."@en1
