Effective local strategies to boost quality job creation, employment, and participation

Report prepared for the G20 Labour and Employment Ministerial Meeting Melbourne, Australia, 10-11 September 2014

This paper delves into the imperative of crafting effective local strategies to foster quality job creation, employment, and participation, particularly in the context of the G20's agenda. Amidst a global economy marked by moderate recovery and persistent challenges, including high unemployment and precarious work conditions, the need for integrated policies to restore public confidence and spur growth remains paramount. By emphasizing the importance of structural policies that promote innovation, skills development, and business support, this paper underscores the role of local actors in driving economic potential, expanding employment opportunities, and mitigating social inequalities. Through flexible and collaborative approaches, communities can pave the way for inclusive growth and social cohesion.
