Hundreds Of Millions Of 'Decent Jobs' Needed: G20

"As a result, we are going to make sure that the economic, labour, and employment policies are compatible with the aim to improve growth and prosperity," said the document which also called for empowering women, as well as promoting youth employment.

The G20, which represents 85 percent of global economic activity and two-thirds of the world's population, pledged earlier this year to boost global growth by 2 percent above the forecasts in the next five years.

On Thursday, Abetz said in a press conference that despite the differences, this objective "also needs to be accompanied by intense and significant job creation" to avoid economic growth dissociated from the employment rate, as it has been in the past.

Economic and finance ministers, and governers of central banks of the G20 member countries will meet next week in Cairns, Australia.

The members of G20 include the European Union, the G7 (the US, Canada, Japan, Germany, Britain, Italy and France), Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and Turkey.
