"Mr President, I should very much like to thank the rapporteur for a very relevant report, which focuses on the growing gender inequality in the labour market at a time when we are all promising each other to combat wage discrimination and work towards genuine equality. Women currently hold the lowest-paid unskilled jobs in industry, and there is a risk that their conditions will deteriorate further if we do not immediately introduce targeted in-service training. We need to make it compulsory to compile gender-differentiated statistics on both wage levels and the gender balance in the individual sectors. It is totally unacceptable that we still have such a poor level of knowledge in these areas. How can we change things if we do not have a clear overview of what the
actually is?
We also need to develop an industrial policy that takes account of the gender dimension and the specific challenges women face in terms of pay, childbirth, job insecurity and monotonous, repetitive work. This should be done in cooperation with the social partners, and the latter must also ensure that women are sufficiently represented in their organisations."@en1
