"I supported this report because I consider it important to devote more attention to instances of gender inequality, particularly in the service sector. As many as 83.1% of working women are employed in the service sector, where they receive considerably lower wages than men, or are often forced by circumstances to work part-time. Unfortunately, women’s increased level of education has not led to a sufficient rise in women’s career advancement or employment conditions, and their skills and knowledge are underrated, despite the fact that an average of 60% of university graduates are women and, in my home country, the figure is as much as 70%. Therefore, I believe that measures promoting the integration of private life, family life and work should be implemented with greater determination. It is unthinkable that this objective could be achieved without the active participation of men, in order to achieve a balance between work and family life. Both men and women will enjoy the benefits of a family-friendly employment policy and the sharing of unpaid work and domestic responsibilities."@en1
