"Mr President, in their report on the role of women in an ageing society, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality noted quite rightly that women of retirement age are more often exposed to living in poverty. The reason for this phenomenon is very often a lower accumulation of pension rights as a result of women’s lower salaries and temporary salary reductions, e.g. when looking after children. The draft mentions many factors which could improve the quality of life for women over 50
taking on additional part-time work. Above all, however, we must decide what to do so that women approaching retirement age do not have to worry about losing their jobs, and thus their financial resources. The European Union should place particular emphasis on ensuring that salaries for men and women are equal. According to the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Treaty of Lisbon, discrimination on the grounds of gender is forbidden at the workplace, so there should be sections in the report which will ensure that women receive the same salaries as men. In addition, it is important that public opinion should emphasise any issues relating to discrimination against women in the workplace."@en1
