"The persistence of gender stereotypes, compounded by the age discrimination faced by older people in the labour market, reduces considerably employment, training and promotion opportunities for older women and is partly responsible for the increased risk of poverty among elderly people.
In Europe, economic competitiveness, prosperity and inclusiveness depend on its ability to improve effectively the use of its labour resources, not only by extending the working lives of its citizens, but also by creating the working conditions and social security systems which support an improvement in working and living conditions, while also benefiting the economy. Furthermore, education for equality from the earliest age, vocational guidance policies and policies to promote women’s employment are effective ways of stopping this kind of discrimination for good.
I think that the situation of women approaching retirement age can be tackled more effectively using the open method of coordination for pensions, social inclusion, employment, changing gender stereotypes and including women in political and economic decision-making bodies."@en1
