The OECD supports the G20 in the area of jobs, labour market policies and inclusive growth by identifying relevant responses to the jobs crisis, strategies to promote a job-rich recovery and a more inclusive type of economic growth. The OECD has notably provided extensive support to the G20 Employment Working Group. |

As a practical step forward to tackle the jobs crisis, the G20 established the G20 Task Force on Employment (TFE), transformed into the Employment Working Group (EWG) in 2014. The G20 work on employment initially concentrated on assisting countries in sharing best practices to tackle youth unemployment, and has now extended its work to job creation (including local job creation), labour activation, the design of the G20 Employment Action Plans, as well as gender labour gap, skills and quality apprenticeship, and quality jobs and inequalities. The OECD has made significant contributions to G20 work on employment and social policies, in co-operation with the ILO. Overall, the OECD supported the successive presidencies of the G20 to define their agenda on employment and labour market policies, namely:
The Organisation has been supporting the EWG by documenting the above issues with evidence-based analysis and putting forward policy recommendations to address them. The OECD has also supported the EWG members to craft the G20 Employment Action Plans and to monitor labour market developments and the progress made by countries in implementing the employment agenda set by G20 Leaders. Furthermore, the OECD and the International Labour Organization (ILO) have been contributing to the preparation of and discussions at the G20 Labour and Employment Ministerial Meetings since the first ministerial meeting in Washington on April 2010. The OECD has highlighted good policy practices drawing from our extensive policy reviews and analyses and assisted Presidencies in drafting the background material as well as the conclusions for these meetings. Our recent contributions to the G20 Employment agenda include:
The OECD also contributes to the monitoring process of G20 countries’ commitments in the labour market and social policy areas (gender and youth employment targets monitoring), together with the ILO.
