"I endorsed the European Parliament’s resolution on the improvement of women’s working conditions in the service sector. Currently, nine out of ten jobs created are in the service sector. Achieving a 75% employment rate among adults by 2020, which is the primary goal of the European Union, requires the entry of a significant number of women into the labour market. Currently, the employment rate for women is 62.1%, compared to 75.1% for men.
In particular, I would like to draw attention to the need to break the horizontal segregation prevalent in the labour market by means of, for example, information campaigns, training courses and vocational training programmes. In Poland, women prevail in low-paid jobs which, nevertheless, require qualifications and experience. I refer to jobs in administration, social care, education and medical care professions such as nursing and midwifery. This is mainly a result of stereotypical divisions into female and male occupations. On average, women also have to work four years longer than men to receive a promotion and, in comparison to men, their average earnings are 16.4% lower.
We require more EU projects which will help women to break stereotypes and take up education and professional career options in different sectors. I conduct training of this nature for women as part of my project
(‘Polish Women Can’ Academy). These are free training sessions for women who want to be active in professional, political or social fields, or who want to start their own business. The academy teaches women how to cope with different challenges and provides information on the various types of support available. I encourage everyone to create similar schemes aimed at providing assistance to women."@en1
