Initial review of community-based vocational training (CBVT) in G20 countries - presentation

18 March 2022

This presentation is based on the report prepared by the International Labour Organization (ILO) for the 1st G20 Employment Group Meeting in 2022. It addresses one of the priorities identified by the Indonesian Presidency. It provides an overview of Community-Based Vocational Training (CBVT) schemes and approaches in G20 countries with a focus on rural areas. It describes how CBVT is organized, governed, financed, and implemented in different countries, building on community structures and decentralized forms of management. It clusters countries into different types of schemes, provides examples of the role CBVT has played during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role information technology and ICTs play in skills design and delivery of CBVT. Pointing to a number of lessons learned in making CBVT realize its potential in G20 countries, the presentation aims at informing policy debate and knowledge sharing among members of the G20 Employment Working Group.

Labour and Employment Ministers' Meeting

Participation of women in the labour force

17 September 2021

The Covid 19 crisis has had unprecedented labour market impacts and indeed it has affected men and women. However, our analysis based on global estimates – and available country level LFS data from the BRICS countries – show that women have been hit harder, coming on top of an already declining LFPR rate in some countries. And many have become inactive, i.e. exited the labour force altogether. The decline in LFPR during this crisis flags concerns around poverty, and gender inequality. These issues require special attention, as noted in the Global call to action for a human centred recovery as adopted by ILO constituents - in June 2021.

Women at Work in G20 countries: Progress and policy action in 2020

15 July 2021

The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on employment was initially greater for women than for men. Unlike in previous crises, sectors in which women are over-represented were hit more by job and work hour losses than those in which men prevail. The crisis has also highlighted the need to improve working conditions in essential service jobs, such as lower-skilled occupations in the health and care sectors, where women make up the majority of workers in most G20 economies.

Build back fairer: a gender-responsive employment recovery

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe employment losses. Women have lost relatively more jobs than men, and they have withdrawn from the labour market in higher proportions than men. The crisis has exacerbated gender inequalities in the labour market.
