Mr President, this document, which acknowledges that young women in the European Union need a balance between education and family life, is proof of a certain return to normality in a European Union which has experienced a dramatic, negative demographic shift and whose population is ageing. The reasons behind these negative changes include anti-family and pro-abortion policies, together with the fact that women are being used as poster girls for contraceptive plasters.
Apart from the demands contained in the document, an important way of helping young, female students to raise their children would be to rebuild a multi-generational family structure in which it is natural for parents to help their children. Their assistance would not only deepen emotional bonds, but the priceless gift of their grandparents’ love would also have a positive impact on the children’s personal development. Rebuilding the extended family would also improve the mental health of our citizens. This would, in turn, facilitate the implementation of numerous strategies.
On a number of occasions, amendments have been tabled to count maternity leave as work experience, with equivalent pay for extended post-maternity leave. This would further improve the position of young families, in terms of raising children and obtaining higher qualifications."@en1
