The document discusses the Europe 2020 strategy and its goals of promoting gender equality, increasing employment rates, and fostering sustainable and inclusive growth. The strategy aims to raise employment rates for women and men aged 20-64 to 75% by 2020 through initiatives like improving job quality, working conditions, and business conditions. The European Commission, Council, and Parliament support a pro-equality approach, as shown in their adoption of the European Pact for Gender Equality for 2011-2020 and resolutions emphasizing the need to close gender gaps. The Pact's goals are to reduce employment and social protection gaps between women and men, promote better work-life balance, and combat violence against women.
