133. The CHAIRPERSON thanked the representative of the Federal Republic of Germany for replying to the many questions raised by members of the Committee. She, personally, would like more information on the policies being pursued to make it easier for women and men to share their family responsibilities, such as child care and care of the elderly. She would also welcome more information on programmes to encourage young girls to broaden their career choices. Lastly, she would like to know more about the situation of immigrant women in the Federal Republic of Germany. I • • • ti Olt J,l44$#..i ... $1l.P.JA.A.I. §.4( .i:i¥(. tJLJh ~ . .ZSJI. ilptpgy .

Ms. TALLAWY said she was particularly pleased that the representative of the Federal Republic of Germany had referred to day-care centres and nurseries as a necessity for the child. Such centres should not be considered as budget outlays but as an investment in the future of the younger generation. Besides, women were more productive when they felt that their children were in safe hands. 135. Ms. UKEJE thanked the representative of the Federal Republic of Germany for replying to the many questions that had been raised. She hoped that any unanswered questions would be dealt with in a subsequent report. 136. Ms. LAIOU-ANTONIOU said that she was particularly interested in the intention of the Federal Republic of Germany to measure women's unpaid work which contributed to the gross national product. The International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women provided assistance with such projects and she encouraged the Federal Republic of Germany to invite experts from the Institute to work with its national statistics offices. It would be a good idea to hold regional seminars to promote awareness of the issue. Without statistics, it was difficult for Governments to proceed with specific policies.
