"EU statistical indicators announce that the majority of workers in the services sector are women. I voted in favour of this document, agreeing with the idea that there is still an unequal division of labour between men and women in specific sectors. Although the services sector creates a large proportion of jobs and revenue, it still pays the least. The payment of lower wages is possibly discriminatory, taking into account women’s responsibilities in the home and the possibility that they may stop working due to pregnancy. One of the major threats in this sector is illegal employment and its associated pay. Particular attention should therefore be paid to employers in the Member States’ services sector employing women part-time and paying inadequately for work, and to the exploitation of workers, particularly immigrants from third countries. Investment in training, more even distribution of rewards among both genders, and flexible working time arrangements, taking into account women’s responsibilities, are the main measures capable of improving the position of women and their working conditions in the services sector."@en1
