The agenda of the G20 Labour Ministers Meeting entitled "Job Creation for Life and Development" will focus on the issues of job creation, labour activation, equality and social inclusion. Ministers will discuss possible ways to formulate and implement integrated employment policy mixes aimed at addressing simultaneously both the economic and the social needs of the G20 countries' population.
