"In 2010, in the European Union, employment in the services sector accounted for 69.4% of all jobs, with 83.1% of the female workforce employed in this sector, compared with 58.1% of the male workforce. In Romania, according to a World Bank report on gender equality, women are paid, on average, 10% less compared to men for doing similar jobs and with the same level of training. However, this is a smaller gap compared to the regional gap.
Equal pay for women and men produces a ‘smart economy’, since the countries which create opportunities and good working conditions for women can increase productivity. To achieve the right balance between gender and professional qualifications, companies should adopt a flexible quota system for having women on boards of directors. Flexible quotas mean that each company will set its own percentage, selection procedure and deadline for reaching the quota."@en1
