Key points

Women are disproportionately affected by the cost-of-living crisis due to lower average incomes and higher representation in precarious jobs.
Existing gender pay gaps and pension disparities significantly reduce women's ability to cope with rising inflation.
Energy poverty is a major social challenge, with millions of Europeans unable to afford proper indoor heating.
The report calls for an extraordinary financial package, including 100 billion EUR for families and 20 billion EUR for the European Child Guarantee.
