"I support this motion because I want to emphasise that education is key both to preventing high rates of single motherhood and to providing single mothers with opportunities to attain higher professional status and therefore better pay. This motion puts forward initiatives which will help to reduce discrimination in employment. As we know from statistical studies, women in general suffer from discrimination at the workplace, and, unfortunately, this is worse in the case of single mothers. Europe must take advantage of the newly-created European Institute for Gender Equality in Vilnius to help alleviate such disparities. European institutions can work to reduce this workplace discrimination by providing tax incentives for employers to encourage the recruitment of single mothers and provide more flexible working hours and child care services.
While the initiatives put forward by this motion are aimed at helping single mothers, they are not limited to this; most can help single fathers and working-class families in general. I believe it is important for Europe to help support the development of our future generations, and for this reason I have chosen to support this motion."@en1
