"The issue of equality between men and women is very sensitive and has to be tackled with the necessary precautions. Employment is more important than ever at times of crisis, given the concerning statistics we have seen on youth unemployment. One of the goals of our political activities, as part of the EUÂ 2020 strategy, is to increase the employment rate among men and women aged 20-64 to 75%. We know that it is an ambitious target, but we have to do everything we can to reach it. Much remains to be done in terms of gender equality, especially in terms of employment, by trying to reduce the difficulties that women have in finding work and career opportunities. In future, we will also have to take action on compensation, where the gender gap remains very wide since, when men and women have the same job in the European Union, the men earn an average of 17% more than the women."@en1
