Gender equality is smart economics
Enakost spolov pomeni ekonomske koristi bralci, b li delež žensk med ustanovitelji podjetij znaša le 30 %.
Europe has done a lot for women. ousands of pages of legislation, numerous campaigns and actions aimed at making their life easier.
Sprejela je na tisoče strani zakonodaje, organizirala številne kampanje in izvedla ukrepe, ki naj bi ženskam olajšali življenje.
Despite undeniable improvements and promising results, gender equality is still a long way off and there are still areas that need to be urgently addressed.
Kljub nespornemu napredku in obetavnim rezultatom pa je do resnične enakosti med spoloma še zelo daleč in še vedno je mnogo področij, na katerih je treba nujno ukrepati.
Commission, women entrepreneurs in today’s Europe make up only 30 % of all entrepreneurs. ey are responsible for around 30 % of startups.
S to težavo se srečujejo vsi, še posebej pa ženske, zato je v Aktu za mala podjetja zapisana zahteva po večji podpori zanje.
In terms of preferences, only 39.4 % of women would choose to be self-employed compared to 50.2 % of men. ere is abundant research showing that the gender gap results in fewer women entrepreneurs, i.e. men are about twice as likely to be involved in business activity than women.
V času švedskega in španskega predsedovanja,ki sta spodbujanje ženskega podjetništva uvrstila med prednostne naloge na svojem dnevnem redu, je ta tema prišla v ospredje in pritegnila precejšnjo medijsko pozornost.
First, since women make up half of the EU electorate, we should, in order to uphold the values of representative democracy, account for half of elected politicians, senior decisionmakers and key players.
Najprej je treba poudariti, da ženske pomenijo polovico volivcev v EU, zato bi morale, če želimo ostati zvesti načelom predstavniške demokracije, zasedati tudi polovico položajev med izvoljenimi politiki, pomembnejšimi nosilci odločanja in glavnimi akterji.
Representative democracy without gender equality is imperfect at best and inherently contradictory at worst.
Predstavniška demokracija brez enakosti med spoloma je milo rečeno nepopolna ali – če povemo brez olepševanja – v samem jedru protislovna.
seems to carry a lower risk, women face difficulty accessing finance. finance.
Ta pojav je mogoče razlagati z več dejavniki.
Second, we have to work together to overcome the myth that women are less capable than men of filling certain posts.
Potreba po pozitivnih ukrepih, ki bi ženske privabili v poslovni svet, ponazarja vzrok večletnih skrbi: v Evropi je premalo podjetnic.
All ‘so’ tools we have at our disposal — education, training, aware-ness-raising campaigns, media messages — need to be deployed to help bring about a real change.
Po statističnih podatkih Evropske komisije je delež žensk med evropskimi podjetniki danes le 30 %; tudi
Secondly, a low level of protection, particularly in maternity rights, is clearly an additional obstacle and impedes the participation of e need for positive measures to woo women into the business world clearly corroborates what has been a cause for concern for many years: there are too few women entrepreneurs in Europe.
Nadalje je treba opozoriti, da si moramo s skupnimi močmi prizadevati za odpravo mita, da so ženske manj primerne za nekatere položaje.
According to statistics made available by the European
Vzorci razmišljanja so tako skriti, da jih je zelo težko spremeniti in zato je tudi stereotipe težko izkoreniniti.
A number of factors explain this complex phenomenon.
Ženske v EU v povprečju zaslužijo 15 % manj kot moški, ki opravljajo enako delo.
First, flawed as some cultural and sociological features associated (rightly or not) with both genders might be, they do in some cases contribute to an understanding of some illogical-ities: for example, despite statistics on credit losses and defaults indicating that financing women’s enterprises
Čeprav je pravica do enakega plačila zapisana v Pogodbi iz leta 1957 in kljub vztrajnim evropskim prizadevanjem za njeno uresničevanje, naša naloga še zdaleč ni končana.
> > > page 2 ird, on average, women in the EU earn 15 % less than men doing the same job. Despite the right to equal pay being enshrined in the EU treaty of 1957 and relentless European efforts to make it a reality, the mission is far from accomplished. Unless we significantly pick up the pace at which we are narrowing the pay gap, it will take over half a century to guarantee the same pay for the same job. ‘Equality between men and women is a serious issue’
Če ne bomo bistveno hitreje zmanjšali razlik v plačilu, bomo potrebovali še več kot polovico stoletja, da bo za enako delo zagotovljeno tudi enako plačilo.
Fourth, female entrepreneurship has to be encouraged.
„Enakost moških in žensk je resna tema“
Interview with Ms Leila Kurki, SOC section president
Intervju z Leilo Kurki, predsednico strokovne skupine SOC
And fi h, work-life balance needs to be respected.
Spodbujati je treba tudi podjetništvo med ženskami.
Furthermore, elder care facilities have to be developed and supported, as very o en it is once again women who take care of their elderly parents.
Trenutno je le tretjina podjetnikov v Evropi žensk.
It is nothing less than a necessity in a continent with a steadily ageing population.
Zaradi gospodarske krize in demografskih sprememb je še toliko bolj nujno, da se jih podpre pri ustanavljanju podjetij.
Having said that, one should not undervalue, belittle or penalise a person who gives priority to working at home with children and family throughout her life or for part of it.
Kriza je tudi priložnost za spodbujanje podjetništva med ženskami, saj vlade zdaj ponovno tehtajo že dolgo uveljavljene politike.
EU institutions clearly need to make additional communication efforts to reach women.
Veliko je ukrepov, ki ženskam omogočajo, da imajo otroka, ne da bi jim bilo treba skrbeti za svojo kariero: mednje sodijo delo za krajši delovni čas, delo na daljavo in enak starševski dopust za matere in očete.
Polls show that women feel more detached from the EU than men do; they are less interested in European politics, less supportive of the EU, less sympathetic towards the euro currency and tend to be less well informed about it than their male counterparts.
Poleg tega je treba povečati in podpirati zmogljivosti za varstvo starejših, saj so pogosto prav ženske tiste, ki skrbijo za ostarele starše.
jobs, they tend to lose their work more easily.
Na celini, kjer je prebivalstvo vse starejše, je to kratko malo nujnost.
In particular, single parent households, which are usually families supported by women, are in danger of sliding into poverty.
Pri tem pa ne smemo podcenjevati, omalovaževati ali zapostavljati oseb, ki se odločijo, da bodo vse življenje ali nekaj časa raje skrbele za gospodinjstvo, otroke in družino.
It is important to remember that gender equality has a strong impact on the economy in terms of higher levels of employment, a greater contribution to GDP, higher income from taxes and more balanced family lives.
Ankete kažejo, da se ženske čutijo manj povezane z EU kot moški, manj se zanimajo za evropske politike, manj podpirajo EU, so bolj kritične do evra in so običajno slabše obveščene kot moški.
Ms Leila Kurki, as EESC member and president of the Section for Employment, Social Affairs and Citizenship, takes stock of the situation regarding gender equality and discrimination against women in Europe with an overview of the areas where action is still needed.
Leila Kurki, članica EESO in predsednica strokovne skupine za zaposlovanje, socialne zadeve in državljanstvo, ocenjuje stanje v Evropi glede enakosti med spoloma in diskriminacije žensk ter opisuje področja, na katerih so še vedno potrebni ukrepi.
Since the gender divide clearly affects attitudes towards the EU, our communications need to take it into account. e Irish campaign for the Lisbon Treaty shows that it pays off.
Naslednje vprašanje je izobraževanje. Ženske imajo danes višjo raven izobrazbe kot moški, toda to dejstvo se ne odraža v plačah ali višjih položajih v službi.
In Ireland’s referendums, women’s votes shi ed drastically towards the ‘yes’: in 2009, 66 % of women voted ‘yes’, compared with 44 % in 2008; this represents one of the greatest increases in the proportion of ‘yes’ voters, in terms of the various socio-demographic groups.
Zato izgubljamo znanje, spretnosti in nadarjenost. Treba si je zapomniti, da enakost med spoloma močno vpliva na gospodarstvo z vidika višjih stopenj zaposlitve,višjih prispevkov v BDP, večjih davčnih prihodkov in bolj uravnoteženega družinskega življenja.
than men, and in precarious jobs.
in delajo na negotovih delovnih mestih.
For example, sectors with a predominantly female workforce are health, education, hotels and restaurant services.
Panoge s pretežno žensko delovno silo so na primer zdravstvo, izobraževanje, hotelirstvo in gostinstvo; v teh panogah, kjer obeti za kariero in varnost zaposlitve niso idealni, dela več kot polovica zaposlenih žensk.
More than half of the women in employment hold jobs in these sectors where career prospects and employment security are not ideal.
Če bi lahko izboljšali delovne razmere, predvsem plače v naštetih panogah, bi s tem močno vplivali na zaposlovanje žensk.
If we could improve the working conditions and especially the salaries in these sectors it would have a considerable impact on the employment of women.
Poleg vsega tega pa celo ženske, ki so zaposlene za skrajšani delovni čas, dejansko v skupnem seštevku delajo več ur kot moški, ki so zaposleni za polni delovni čas; to velja predvsem za ženske, ki imajo otroke.
On top of that, even women who are working part time actually work more hours in total than men working full time, especially if they have children.
Zato je treba moške spodbujati, da prevzamejo svoje odgovornosti v gospodinjstvu.
Men must be encouraged to take up their responsibilities as regards domestic tasks.
Ali EESO po vašem mnenju spoštuje enakost med spoloma?
Do you think that gender equality is respected within the EESC?
EESC info: Kakšno je trenutno stanje v Evropi na področju enakosti med spoloma in kaj bi morala biti prednostna naloga EU?
Do you mean that the gender gap is still alive and well?
Torej pravite, da so razlike med spoloma še vedno močno navzoče?
EESC Info: What is the current situation in Europe regarding gender quality and what should be a priority for the EU?
V obeh referendumih na Irskem je bil zabeležen močan preobrat v glasovanju volivk v korist Lizbonske pogodbe: leta 2009 je „za“ glasovalo 66 % žensk, leta 2008 pa le 44 %.
Let me finish by sharing a dream with you, which was also my grandmother’s dream, and I hope that it will not be just a dream for my daughter.
Naj vam na koncu opišem svoje sanje, ki jih je sanjala že moja babica, jaz pa upam, da bodo za mojo hčerko postale stvarnost: sanjam o dnevu, ko razlik med spoloma ne bo več, ko bodo otroci po vsem svetu, deklice in dečki, lahko obiskovali šolo, ko bodo deklice in ženske lahko same odločale o svoji prihodnosti in ko obvezne kvote za ženske ne bodo več potrebne.
A day when equality between men and women will be accepted in diversity and complementarity!
Sanjam o dnevu, ko bomo priznali enakost moških in žensk, hkrati pa upoštevali, da se med seboj razlikujemo in dopolnjujemo.
As an EESC member, I can say that the EESC is working hard to guarantee gender equality.
Kot članica EESO lahko rečem, da si Odbor močno prizadeva za enako obravnavanje obeh spolov.
On the other hand, of the EESC’s 26 presidents, only four have been women. is does not really surprise me, because it reflects the percentage of women among EESC members: currently, only 23.6 % of members are women.
Po drugi strani pa so bile med 26 predsedniki Odbora le štiri ženske, kar me sicer ne preseneča, saj odraža odstotek žensk med člani EESO: trenutno delež žensk znaša le 23,6 %.
It is logical to think that if the number of female members increases, then
Logično je, da bo Odbor imel več predsednic, če se bo povečalo število žensk med člani.
In addition, women are more likely to be found in the lower income groups
Poleg tega je pri ženskah večja verjetnost kot pri moških, da se bodo znašle med tistimi, ki prejemajo nizke dohodke
Women still earn less than their male colleagues, even if there is a shitowards management and entrepreneurial roles.In some Member States there is an earlier retirement age for women which can be a disadvantage.
Ženske še vedno zaslužijo manj kot njihovi moški kolegi, čeprav je opazen premik k menedžerskim in podjetniškim nalogam.
O en it means lower pensions,frequently resulting in oldage poverty.
V nekaterih državah članicah se ženske upokojijo prej, kar je lahko pomanjkljivost, saj to pogosto pomeni nižjo pokojnino, ki je spet razlog za revščino v starosti.
Moreover, the current global economic crisis has expanded the ‘feminisation’ of poverty and eroded social protection for women.
Poleg tega je sedanja svetovna gospodarska kriza povečala „feminizacijo“ revščine in spodkopala socialno zaščito žensk.

Social affairs and a real employment policy — top priorities in the EU 2020 strategy
Socialne zadeve in resnična politika zaposlovanja – glavne prednostne naloge v strategiji EU 2020
At our last plenary session we discussed the ‘Role of economic and social councils and similar institutions in the Union for the Mediterranean’, in the presence of ESC presidents and representatives of the EU’s partner countries within the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM).
Na zadnjem plenarnem zasedanju smo ob navzočnosti predsednikov in predstavnikov ekonomsko-socialnih svetov iz partnerskih držav EU, članic Unije za Sredozemlje, razpravljali o vlogi ekonomsko-socialnih svetov in podobnih institucij v Uniji.
I think it is crucial to give civil society action a core role within the UfM, because this is the only way to solve the area’s real problems and prevent the UfM from being just another diplomatic exercise.
okolju prijazno gospodarstvo kot osnova za ponovno oživitev gospodarstva in zaposlovanja, podpiranje novih znanj in spretnosti ter ustvarjanje novih delovnih mest, inovacije, raziskave, energetska učinkovitost, potencial MSP in enotni trg.
most part, consistent with the priorities presented by the Commission in the EU 2020 strategy: the transition towards a green economy as a basis for relaunching the economy and jobs, the provision of support for new skills and the creation of new jobs, innovation, research, energy efficiency, the potential of SMEs and the single market.
Po mojem mnenju je nujno, da civilna družba dobi osrednjo vlogo v Uniji za Sredozemlje, saj je to edini način za odpravo resničnih težav v regiji. S tem bomo tudi preprečili, da bi Unija postala zgolj še en projekt, ki obstaja samo na papirju.
In the near future you will find there more information on the biannual conference which will tackle the importance of education in the fight against social exclusion and will take place at the end of May in Florence e EU 2020 strategy is at the top of the EESC agenda, as confirmed by several actions of EESC President Mario Sepi and by the opinion on the Lisbon strategy a er 2010 approved last November.
Strategija EU 2020 je na vrhu seznama nalog Evropskega ekonom-sko-socialnega odbora, o čemer pričajo številne dejavnosti predsednika EESO Maria Sepija in mnenje o lizbonski strategiji po letu 2010, ki je bilo sprejeto lani novembra.
Continued from page 1 —‘Equality between men and women is a serious issue’

Mr Sepi underlined that ‘the consensus will make it possible to satisfy the need to adapt the social shock absorbers throughout the crisis within the framework of the social pact proposed by the Spanish presidency’.
Mario Sepi je poudaril, da bo „s tem soglasjem mogoče skozi celotno krizo prilagajati mehanizme za blažitev socialnih šokov v okviru socialnega pakta, ki ga je predlagalo špansko predsedstvo“.
In addition, he highlighted the urgent need to solve the contradictions inherent in credit access in Europe, particularly for SMEs,which had great difficulty in obtaining credit.He called for tax coordination between Member States, which he described as essential to tackle public debt repayment.
Poleg tega je opozoril, da je treba razrešiti protislovja, ki so v Evropi značilna pri dostopanju do posojil in s katerimi se soočajo zlasti MSP, ki z veliko težavo pridobijo posojila.
He concluded by saying that ‘it will be necessary to find resources with a minimal impact on employment, because we cannot afford to increase the burden on workers and companies’.
Pozval je k davčnemu usklajevanju med državami članicami, ki je po njegovem mnenju ključno za vračilo javnega dolga.Na koncu je dejal, da „bo treba najti rešitve s čim manjšim vplivom na zaposlovanje, saj si ne moremo privoščiti, da bi dodatno obremenili delavce in podjetja“.
e EESC also adopted an opinion on the‘Lisbon strategy a er 2010’ in November 2009, where it was made clear that current challenges, such as the financial and economic crisis and the resulting social problems, economic globalisation, the need to improve the functioning of the single market, energy policy and climate change, demographic trends and migration, required a new and comprehensive global strategy at the European level. ese measures should be capable of tackling the challenges and correcting shortcomings in implementation, they should be backed up by a sense of shared European responsibility and they should be capable of linking up all EU strategies (the recovery strategy, the Lisbon strategy, sustainable development and climate change) in a coherent way. (mp)
EESO je novembra 2009 sprejel mnenje o lizbonski strategiji po letu 2010, v katerem je pojasnil, da je potrebna nova in izčrpna globalna strategija na evropski ravni za spoprijem s sedanjimi izzivi, kot so finančna in gospodarska kriza ter z njo povezani socialni problemi, gospodarska globalizacija, potreba po izboljšanju delovanja enotnega trga, energetska politika, podnebne spremembe, demografska gibanja in migracije.
