"Women in the EU earn, on average, 17.5% less than men, and this rate has remained constant for the past fifteen years – it is time for action to be taken to cut this pay gap. Equal pay for equal work must be properly implemented in Member States in order to get a fair deal for women. It is vital we look at the effect the gender pay gap has on pensions for women; in many cases, a woman’s right to a pension results from her marital status. Equal pensions for women should be guaranteed, and it is for this reason I supported the proposal to ensure the same rights for women in the case of pensions and social security. Around 17% of all women in the EU are living below the poverty line, and it is essential that social and labour market policies are adapted to guarantee a minimum income and social justice for women. I agree with calls for the EU to provide more funding through the ESF in order to help combat poverty and social exclusion – it is vital that women are fully integrated into the labour market."@en1
