Indonesia's Presidency in the G20 will initiate the formulation of monitoring tools as part of the efforts to create an inclusive job market, Secretary-General of the Manpower Ministry Anwar Sanusi stated on Thursday.
Sanusi noted at the first meeting of the G20 Employment Working Group (EWG) that the Indonesian Presidency had drawn praises and support from member countries, related groups, international and regional organizations on the inclusive labor market issues and decent work for people with disabilities.
"The Indonesian presidency encourages monitoring tools required to monitor the development of labor market inclusiveness for the disabled workforce to be applied to the G20 community," he noted in a press statement in Jakarta.
The instrument initiated by Indonesia's presidency is expected to become a supporting instrument in the framework of formulating a concrete and implementable G20 action plan to accelerate the principles to integrate people with disabilities into the labor market, which was agreed upon in 2018 in Argentina.
Through this endeavor, Indonesia is optimistic of disabled people receiving attention and unbiased treatment in the labor market, including for social security protection for them, Sanusi emphasized.
He explained that Indonesia, as the host of the 2022 G20, is keen to ensure that no one is left behind in various development programs.
"This condition is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals' (SDG's) agenda to ensure that not even one group of people was left behind in obtaining employment opportunities and decent work, so that productivity could continue to increase," he affirmed.
G20 is a group of countries that represent at least 85 percent of the world economy, 79 percent of global trade, 80 percent of global investment, and about 65 percent of the world's population.
For the first time, Indonesia is holding the 2022 G20 Presidency from December 1, 2021, to November 2022 and will lead the G20 member countries -- Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States -- in a series of working group meetings and events.
