"The European Union has more than 80 million people at risk of poverty, including 20 million children and 8% of the working population. The European platform against poverty and social exclusion, devised by the Commission, completely ignores the gender aspect of poverty and social exclusion. The Commission and Member States must adopt a gender-specific perspective in order to eradicate poverty and combat social exclusion, and must take the gender dimension into account in their national recession recovery plans. I call on the Commission and Member States to take measures to prevent feminisation of poverty by promoting women’s employment and entrepreneurship, combating the gender pay gap, facilitating the reconciliation of work and family duties, developing child care facilities, through a system of services for dependents, and by promoting flexible working arrangements. The fight against child poverty must focus on prevention, through the provision of equal access to high-quality early childhood education and child care services and to other facilities for children, by ensuring that the distribution of such services and centres provides adequate cover at regional level."@en1
