ITUC/TUAC Assessment of the G20 Summit in Osaka
When the G20 Leaders met in Osaka on 28-29 June, most of the G20 Ministerial Meetings under the Japanese presidency had taken place, with the notable exception of the Labour and Employment Ministerial Meeting (LEMM) scheduled on 1-2 September. The Osaka Declarationi shows that gap. While the deliverables on infrastructure, trade, digitalisation, finance and health are highlighted through over a dozen of new declarations and action plans, labour and employment issues take a back seat and are reduced to the core topics of the Presidency (demographic change and gender equality).
