"The recent economic and financial crisis has resulted in a series of negative consequences that have affected the standard of living and the working lives of citizens and of women in particular. The situation of women emerges clearly from the statistics: nearly 17% of European women live in poverty.
The year 2010 has been proclaimed the ‘European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion’ so I believe that the activities undertaken during this year should also take into account the risk of social exclusion experienced by women compared with men. I also believe that the promotion of a work-life balance, to allow women who wish to pursue their careers or to work full-time, should be a key element in combating women’s poverty and in reducing the risks to which women are exposed.
The Structural Funds and, in particular, the European Social Fund, are key instruments in helping Member States combat poverty and social exclusion. Therefore, I draw the Commission’s attention to the opportunity to cofinance either specific programmes to promote the active integration or reintegration of women into the labour market or training courses aimed at the attainment of specific professional qualifications."@en1
