"The Lisbon targets set in 2000 will certainly not be achieved by 2010 as originally intended.
The current gender structures and attitudes play an important role in this failure. Europe is not adequately using the potential of the half of its population. Women do not have equal opportunities for achievement in the high-value-added industry.
Moreover, women are not adequately represented in social dialogue. Neither employers’ organisations nor the trade unions and the public sector have enough women in high-level positions.
It is remarkable and alarming that the future of work and the future of society are decided by the half of the population which does not take equal responsibility for raising the children and maintaining the household.
Increasingly, antisocial measures such as increasing unreported overtime and uncompensated flexibility of workers are used to increase productivity. The price we pay for this illusory increase is too high.
The Member States should significantly increase the emphasis on gender equality in social dialogue. Simultaneously, many Member States should strengthen the role which social dialogue has in setting the policy.
Women have the highest potential to accelerate the development of our high-tech industry. Europe must use it."@en1
