lpv:translated text	"The service sector accounts for over 70% of economic activity in the EU, and a similar and increasing percentage of total employment. Precariousness is a persistent characteristic of the EU labour market, which affects women above all, because women face wage discrimination and are the most affected by part-time work. This means they are paid lower wages, have less social protection, have greater limitations on the progress of their career, and have less opportunities for economic independence. This, in turn, encourages them to retreat into the private sphere and leads to steps backwards in responsibility sharing. Women account for a large proportion of those doing undeclared jobs. Using the excuse of labour reforms, the economic adjustments and social cuts that Member States such as Spain are making, as well as austerity measures, are weakening the rights of women working in this sector. That is why I am voting in favour: to support policies that favour improved working conditions for women in the service sector."@en1
