Origin

2013 - March Standing Committee

In the draft resolution, paragraph 7, at the beginning of the first sentence, insert the following words:

"Besides Slovenia, where employment of women is traditionally high and above the European Union average,"

Explanatory note

The participation of women in the labour market in Slovenia is almost equal to the ratio of employment of men and they are mostly employed full time. This is due to a good and well-organised system of public kindergartens.
