"In accordance with the principal goal of the Europe 2020 strategy, which is to attain 75% employment by 2020, measures must be created to improve the access of women to the labour market, since statistics have long attested to their significantly lower representation. I consider the low representation of women in the labour market and, above all, in skilled positions, to be a highly negative phenomenon, even given the fact that women account for approximately 60% of university graduates. Yet, despite this, we only rarely find them in management or decision-making positions in the services sector. Since women in the service sector are found in the lowest level jobs in terms of qualifications and wages, and are even paid less than men, I believe the training and knowledge of woman can be left to develop through the promotion of business activities and entrepreneurship of women. I am therefore pleased by this proposal for micro-financing as an instrument for supporting entrepreneurial women and people in a vulnerable position in the labour market in the services sector. Finally, I would like to applaud the excellent work of the hundreds of thousands of women in the area of social services and in the social enterprise sector, and I therefore especially welcome the Commission communication entitled ‘Social Business Initiative’, which is intended for them."@en1
