"Poverty is a grave phenomenon, which affects women significantly more. Women face multiple discrimination – elder women, women belonging to ethnic minorities, disabled women, lone parents – and are potential victims of social exclusion and extreme poverty.
The risk of poverty is linked to unemployment. This risk increases if unemployment remains high. Integrating disabled people, long-term unemployed, elder people and ethnic minorities into employment is a key challenge.
Economic, employment and social policies are mutually reinforcing. Economic development should be accompanied by efforts to reduce poverty and to fight exclusion and discrimination.
Helping women getting employed is one of the key elements since employment generates income and promote social participation. If the Lisbon employment target set for 2010 is to be achieved, factors underlying gender gap in employment, and pay need to be tackled vigorously. Actions which make it easier for women to reconcile career with family should be further pursued.
Exchange of best practices of Member States would be of great use in social protection systems, in eliminating and preventing violence against women.
We should try harder to include social partners at national, regional and local level into policy development and implementation, especially in the area of education, employment and pensions."@en1
