"I voted in favour of the report by Mrs Thomsen. During an economic downturn such as the one we are currently experiencing, certain groups of workers always pay the highest price. Precarious workers are, in fact, facing this crisis without the safeguards that other workers can enjoy. Furthermore, within this category, women are in an even more critical position. The problem of precarious work is rife among women, especially in the services sector and agriculture, and effective measures are urgently needed to change this situation. The underlying reasons are varied. The employment and pay gap between men and women is still far too large for us to claim that equality has been achieved, which is why certain effective measures, such as maternity leave, healthcare and old-age pensions, would be an effective way to halt the spread of precarious work. However, the starting point for getting out of this situation of employment inequality is surely education and training for young women. Lastly, more in-depth research is needed into the causes, reasons and costs of low qualifications."@en1
