MEPs passed a report calling for an EU action plan to address the gender pay and pension gaps, emphasizing the need to improve working conditions and fair pay in women-dominated sectors. Women's disproportionate share of unpaid care work affects labor market participation and pensions, contributing to the gender gaps. Closing the childcare gap and promoting parental leave for both men and women are highlighted as crucial steps towards achieving equality. Implementation of these measures is deemed essential for building a more just society.
