Employment & Education in the B20 and G20 Agenda

Recent years have seen the increasing influence of technology on employment and education, from allowing new, flexible forms of work, to automating tasks and stimulating the 4th Industrial Revolution. Workforces and education systems have struggled to keep up with the pace of change, resulting in widening skills gaps, stagnant productivity, and persistent challenges around formality and inclusion.

The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated these workplace transformations, as well as generating a global employment crisis that is especially devastating to smaller companies and already-vulnerable parts of the workforce.

The B20 Italy 2021 Task Force on Employment & Education has identified the following three Policy Recommendations to kickstart a new era of job creation and productive growth.

1. World Preparedness: Preparing workforce skills for future industrial revolutions;

2. Active Labour Market Policies: Improving labour market policies and regulatory frameworks to drive productivity and growth;

3. Inclusive Recovery: Ensuring inclusive opportunities as we rebuild the workplace of the future;
