Generation of Productive Employment and decent working conditions is crucial for inclusive growth. India has a large percentage, 58% of population in the working age group (15-59 years). We are concerned about making employment opportunities accessible to the poor and weaker sections of our society. We have initiated many schemes and are working to provide skills and training to our vast labour force which is largely in the unorganized sector. However, in India we have more of structural unemployment which is more prevalent in developing countries whereas the developed countries have more of cyclical unemployment. It has to be discussed as to how we can have a coordinated policy on employment because though our objectives are the same but the action plan adopted to promote full employment and quality jobs may have to be different. We strongly support international efforts to encourage and facilitate mobility of labour. India strongly feels that over emphasis on indicators/standards/Policy recommendation should not appear in the G-20 prescription to the developing countries/ and to Least Industrialized Countries (LICs) lest it should result in protectionism.
