The Committee on Women’s Rights and\n Gender Equality adopted the own-initiative report drafted by Edit BAUER (EPP, SK) on the situation of women\n approaching retirement age. The committee recalls that in the EU-27 the older\n population (aged 65+) increased by 3.7%, this is projected to increase from\n 17.4% in 2010 to 30% in 2060. In 2008, the risk of poverty among elderly\n women stood at 22% as against 16% for elderly men.
Faced with this situation and the\n increased risk of poverty for older women, Members call for effective\n measures, including measures to strengthen women's pensions. They encourage\n the use of equality-enhancing actuarial calculation of pensions for men\n and women. Steps should be taken to decrease the risk of poverty, to\n tackle the poverty currently experienced by older people, to improve the\n quality, accessibility and affordability of (health) care and to end the\n practice of mandatory retirement, while allowing older women to participate\n in the labour market by tackling discrimination.
Members call on the\n Member States to make additional provision in their pensions legislation for\n widows’ pensions so as to make older women less vulnerable to the risk of\n poverty. The Commission is called upon to further\n develop and improve the collection and analysis of accurate, relevant,\n comparable European gender- and age-specific data, particularly on the employment\n and unemployment rate of older women. Members point to the importance of\n taking measures to promote the inclusion of women in the most vulnerable\n categories, that is to say, immigrants, women belonging to minorities, women\n with disabilities, women with little education, women without work\n experience, women in prison, etc., in order to guarantee their right to a\n decent life.
Furthermore, the report calls on the\n Commission and the Member States to promote initiatives to foster understanding\n of the language and culture of new technologies so as to enable the older female\n population to bridge the digital divide.
Women in the labour market: Members propose a series of measures to enable older women to\n stay as long as possible in the labour market. They are as follows:
Women as care-providers: a series of measures have been proposed as follows. Members\n reiterate their call to guarantee the accessibility and affordability of\n such quality care. They point to the need to make sufficient provision of\n an appropriately high standard for care services for children, older people\n and other dependent persons and that these care services for children and\n dependants constitute a substantial source of jobs that could be filled by\n older women, whose employment rate is currently one of the lowest. Members\n encourage the Member States to extend access to parental leave for grandparents\n and children taking care of their parents. Recognising that women\n approaching retirement age are often grandparents, the report asks Member\n States to consider child care facilities that can offer grandparents, should\n they wish, the freedom of choice to participate in other activities. Member\n States should consider exploring a range of accommodation options and supporting\n community groups and organisations as a way of combating isolation among elderly\n women and creating a favourable environment for intergenerational solidarity.
Health issues: Members call on the Commission and the Member States to\n recognise the gender dimension in health as an essential part of EU health\n policies. They recognise the vital role of screening and preventive treatment\n in health care, and encourage the Commission to use the open method of\n coordination to ensure exchange of views, promote harmonisation of screening\n across the EU, identify best practices and establish guidelines. They welcome\n the efforts of some Member States which provide free access to prevention of gender-related\n diseases, and encourages Member States which have not yet done so to strengthen\n preventive healthcare for older women by providing, for example, for accessible\n and regular mammograms and cervical smear tests, to erase age limits in\n access to health prevention such as breast cancer screening, and to raise\n awareness of the importance of screening.
The report encourages the Commission and\n the Member States to develop measures that ensure better health and safety at\n work. Lastly, Members call on Commission and the Member States to combat all\n forms of violence against older women.
\nThe European Parliament adopted a\n resolution on the situation of women approaching retirement age.
Parliament recalls that in the EU-27 the\n older population (aged 65+) increased by 3.7%, this is projected to increase\n from 17.4% in 2010 to 30% in 2060. It also recalls that in 2008, the risk of\n poverty among elderly women stood at 22% as against 16% for elderly men. The\n unemployment rate is higher for women than men in 21 Member States and, even\n though the long-term unemployment rate is higher for men than women in 12\n countries, women's unemployment is more likely to be disguised as\n ‘inactivity’ if they are married or have children.
Faced with this situation and the\n increased risk of poverty for older women, Parliament calls for effective\n measures, including measures to strengthen women's pensions. It encourages\n the use of equality-enhancing actuarial calculation of pensions for men\n and women. Steps should be taken to decrease the risk of poverty, to\n tackle the poverty currently experienced by older people, to improve the\n quality, accessibility and affordability of (health) care and to end the\n practice of mandatory retirement, while allowing older women to participate\n in the labour market by tackling discrimination.

The Commission is called upon to further develop and improve the collection and analysis of\n accurate, relevant, comparable European gender- and age-specific data,\n particularly on the employment and unemployment rate of older women.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on the\n Commission and the Member States to promote initiatives to foster\n understanding of the language and culture of new technologies so as to enable\n the older female population to bridge the digital divide.
The Commission and the Member States are\n called upon to ensure that multiple discrimination against women over 50 is\n better reflected and effectively tackled in the open method of coordination\n regarding pensions, social inclusion, employment, changing gender stereotypes\n and inclusion of women on political and economic decision-making bodies.
