The Labour 20 releases its Statement with Recommendations to the G20
05/07/2013
G20 countries face a jobs emergency and a crisis of confidence. They must strive for a renewed momentum for economic leadership and show that they are prepared to deliver on past and future commitments. The L20 have called consistently for G20 governments to make employment central to their recovery strategies, and to strengthen labour market institutions in order to achieve a fair income distribution and to create green, sustainable jobs through smart investments. The decision of the Russian G20 Presidency to hold the first joint meeting of Labour and Employment and Finance Ministers provides an opportunity to re-launch a Jobs Plan for the G20 economies.
The Statement will be officially presented during the L20 Meeting at July 17 in Moscow, while its recommendations will be discussed at the consultations with G20 Labour and Employment Ministers on July 18.
