The Group of 20 (G20) Labor and Employment Ministers Meeting (LEMM) in Jimbaran Bali earlier this week has agreed on a plan to accelerate the development of an inclusive labor market for people with disabilities.
The group members agreed on Wednesday the Action Plan on Accelerating and Monitoring the G20 Principles for the Labor Market Integration of Persons with Disabilities.
Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah, who chaired the meeting, highlighted the need for a commitment to supervise the implementation of the principles.
"In addition, monitoring the implementation and integration of persons with disabilities into the labor market should be based on a list of indicators that will be analyzed and submitted by the ILO and OECD, reported every four years," Ida said.
The inclusive labor market document was part of the so-called Bali commitments agreed by the G20 manpower ministers which included at least five agreement documents for the global employment policy.
Another agreement was to increase human resources capacity and productivity by implementing life-long learning, which pays attention to local needs and inclusive community participation, through Community-Based Vocational Training (CBVT).
"CBVT offers an inclusive and sustainable vocational training approach," Ida said.
