".
The adopted resolution, which is, it must be said, unsatisfactory in certain areas, seeks to modernise the principle of equal treatment between men and women in matters of employment and occupation. Unequal treatment can occur not only in the workplace but also in access to jobs, to training and to promotion. The monitoring of these practices should therefore cover all of these areas.
What the Member States need to do, in conjunction with the social partners, is to combat the problem of the continuing gender-based wage differentials and gender segregation on the labour market by means of regulatory measures enabling both men and women to combine family and work commitments more easily. This will entail regulatory measures covering parental leave arrangements, which can be taken up by both parents, and the establishment of accessible and affordable childcare services and care for dependents.
Furthermore, if we are to achieve equality between women and men, changes applicable to both men and women will need to be made. It is therefore important that the Member States, in collaboration with the social partners, implement strategies to make equality between men and women a reality."@en1
