"The group of women to whom in official documents we refer diplomatically as ‘approaching retirement age’, or for media purposes as ‘50+’, were once called by the Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk ‘invisible in society’. Therefore, I am very pleased that next year the ‘invisible’ will become visible, thanks to the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between the Generations. Employment levels of women over 55 are too low today in Europe for the Union to be able to achieve the target of 75% employment of women and men between the ages of 20 and 64 which we set ourselves in the Europe 2020 strategy. We will not achieve this target if employment among women does not rise. In Poland, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy is running a programme entitled ‘Solidarity between the Generations’ – a package of government measures intended to increase employment in Poland among people who are over 50. It is shocking that in the labour market women who are many years younger than men are often considered to be too ‘old’."@en1
