L20 statement to the G20 summit
"We firmly believe that employment and social inclusion must be at the heart of our actions and policies to restore growth and confidence." G20 Cannes Summit Final Declaration, November 2011.
G20 Leaders must make the implementation of their past commitments a crosscutting objective. They need to shift away from austerity towards employment-contingent, inclusive growth policies. They must act to increase economic cooperation and boost demand and employment, particularly quality employment, increase financial regulation and implement a Financial Transactions Tax, put in place a Social Protection Floor and support development; tackle climate change and promote sustainable growth; and achieve more democratic and equitable global governance.
