Theme of the day of 27 September 2007
Equality between women and men in the EU
|
Piia-Noora Kauppi MEP (Finland) presents her report on equality between women and men in the EU - 2007 on Thursday 27th September during the plenary session in the European Parliament.
|
Rapporteur Piia-Noora Kauppi MEP stresses that there is a clear gender dimension in the demographic challenge facing Europe and that gender equality policies are a fundamental means to meet this challenge. Issues such as the gender pay gap, reconciliation of professional and family life and discrimination in the labour market need to be addressed and taken seriously by all relevant actors. Kauppi's report urges Member States to mutualise the costs of maternity leave allowance in order to ensure that women no longer represent a more costly source of labour than men.
