"I welcome the adoption of this report by Iratxe García Pérez, which highlights perfectly the deeply unjust characteristics of the organisation of services in our European societies. It is very unfortunate that the employment of women in the service sector is still very much characterised by stereotypes in society that depict women’s main responsibility as being the family carer, with jobs that are seen as an extension of the work they do in the home, such as cleaning, teaching, clothing and textiles, etc. The jobs held by women are – for the most part – flexible, part-time, low-skilled jobs with notable wage gaps. In short, insecure jobs have almost become the norm and we cannot remain indifferent to that. It is in this context that the national and European authorities must demonstrate their commitment to combating these gender stereotypes, particularly from an early age. The issue of the employment – or, rather, the exploitation – of migrant women, especially in the area of domestic service and care work, also warrants the utmost attention of the public authorities."@en1
