lpv:translated text	"The EU has made great strides with integrating women into the labour market in recent decades. The employment rate for women is 62%, up from the figure of 55% recorded in 1997. Moreover, women represent almost 60% of all EU university graduates. Although increasing numbers of women are highly qualified, and despite their participation in the labour market increasing, they are still massively outnumbered by men in positions of responsibility in politics and business, particularly the top jobs. There is also a sexual division of labour based on stereotypes rooted in society, which assume that there are male and female jobs. Furthermore, wage disparities are still the reality in the European Union. Despite various legal initiatives for wage equality, the gap remains and progress is extremely slow. I voted for this report, which suggests a series of measures, particularly as regards work/life balance, to improve working conditions for women in the service sector."@en1
