"One of the five major objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy is combating poverty and, as such, it was necessary to analyse poverty amongst women in the EU. This report highlights the causes and consequences of poverty amongst women and stresses the importance that achieving gender equality has for sustainable growth, employment, competitiveness and social cohesion. At the moment, 17% of women in the Union live in poverty, and this figure has increased dramatically in comparison with poverty among men in recent times. Therefore, in line with the report, poverty has become feminised. The Union and the Member States urgently need, in accordance with the subsidiarity principle, to find ways of combating poverty in general, and that of women in particular. Efforts need to be made with a view to labour and social protection policies based on gender equality, and with a view to efforts to reconciling family life with work. Dialogue needs to be undertaken with social partners and civil society, contributing to achieving an increasingly egalitarian society."@en1
