Abstract:

Investing in skills must be a key element of the G20 commitment to take action to “support development and Inclusive Growth, and help to reduce inequality and poverty” in the context of lifting G20 GDP (Brisbane Summit) and promoting inclusive growth. Skills are a key driver of innovation, the adoption of new technologies and higher productivity which combine to deliver strong and inclusive growth. Building adequate skills and adapting them over working lives boosts the earnings of individuals and enhances opportunities and well-being. Effective skills systems underpin thriving communities and societies.  Investing in skills must be a key element of the G20 commitment to take action to “support development and Inclusive Growth, and help to reduce inequality and poverty” in the context of lifting G20 GDP (Brisbane Summit) and promoting inclusive growth.
