(7) The ESF should contribute to the Europe 2020 Strategy, ensuring greater concentration of support on the priorities of the European Union. The ESF should in particular increase its support for the fight against social exclusion and poverty, through a minimum ring-fenced allocation. The greater part of the funding for this field should be used to support women, including women with disabilities, as they are at greatest risk of poverty. According to the level of development of the supported regions, the choice and number of investment priorities for ESF support should also be limited.
