Equipping the workforce with the skills required for the jobs of today and those of
tomorrow is a strategic concern in the national growth and development outlooks of all
G20 countries. Together, G20 leaders have pledged to support robust training strategies
to meet the challenges of fostering strong, sustainable and balanced growth in each
country and globally. Each country’s prosperity depends on how many of its people are in
work and how productive they are, which in turn rests on the skills they have and how
effectively those skills are used. Skills are a foundation of decent work. Many G20 countries have used training and retraining in their responses to the employment challenges arising from the global financial crisis of 2008. Lessons learned since that time are being applied more widely.
