Why it matters
Labor and employment ministers meet as part of the G20 each year, and the B20 runs a dedicated task force on employment and education. Their focus has shifted toward the effects of artificial intelligence and automation on work, and toward skills systems that can keep up.
For employers, the practical questions are apprenticeships, reskilling budgets, recognition of qualifications across borders, and how to attract and keep talent in tight labor markets.
