The general movement of the gender equality in the labour market is positive but it is moving slowly.
The speed of closing the gender gap must be much higher than what we have seen in recent years. Ivailo Kalfin @eurofound on #GenderEquality #EESCPlenary
This year, the amount of investment going to female-led startups has gone down from 3% a few years ago to 1% last year.
Diversity outperforms every single time and yet we are not backing diversity. Kinga Stanislawska #EESCPlenary #GenderEquality
Equal pay, childcare, maternity leave and flexibility at work can help women move up the ladder.
It's not a quick fix. Our efforts should be coordinated. We need to monitor policy and we need effective measurement. Xenia Kazoli #EESCPlenary #GenderEquality
Without specific finance 4 female entrepreneurship the evolution towards an egalitarian society will be very slow.
We really need to focus on #gender perspective when assigning funds, both #EU & national level, also when it comes 2 public procurement. @MariaNikolo #EESCPlenary
Gender budgeting is something states could integrate into all levels of administration, whether regional or national.
We think it's also important to focus on role of social partners & civil society that participate in gender policy @CinziaDelRio #EESCPlenary #GenderEquality
Gender inequality in work & society persists, despite longstanding efforts to tackle it.
Unfortunately #EU recovery and resilience plans were largely drawn up without measures to improve gender equality & bring about decent working conditions for women @oliverroepke #EESCPlenary
Public financing in particular could & should play a crucial role in tackling gender equality. The EU's recovery policies have not been effectively used to do so. Economic investment alone is not enough. We also need 2 change our culture. @NMerlo87 #EESCPlenary #GenderEquality
Some of the issues raised in these opinions are so obvious that it beggars belief that Member States are not using gender budgeting @mcarmenbarrera #EESCPlenary #GenderEquality
