| description |
Almost four years since the onset of the
global financial and economic crisis, unemployment and
underemployment remain stubbornly high in many G20
countries, and many workers remain trapped in low paid,
often informal, jobs with little social protection. Job
creation has been anemic in many countries, too slow to
fully reabsorb the mass of unemployed and underemployed or,
particularly in some emerging market economies, to keep pace
with labour force growth and the pressures of rural-urban
migration. This raises concerns about the long-term negative
effects on human capital, growing inequality and lower
future output growth. The political pressures are high, and
the risk of a drift towards protectionist measures aimed at
'keeping jobs at home' cannot be ignored. While
there is substantial variation in national contexts, G20
countries can help minimize these risks through collective
and collaborative work aimed at identifying and implementing
credible policy reforms that will boost job creation,
employment and the quality of jobs. The report aims at
providing a preliminary review of countries'
experiences against the backdrop of an evolving economic
outlook and could form the basis of a more in-depth
analysis, should Ministers request it. Improving labour
market outcomes involves several challenges relating to both
the quantity and quality aspects of job creation. There is a
need in all countries to harness growth to generate labour
market opportunities that correspond to labour force growth. |
