Abstract

This study examines social agenda coverage, place, and role in the decision-making process in the G20. The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth exploration of the extent of ways and means by which social policy issues find a place in the G20, which is called the premier forum for international economic cooperation. This research will discuss the extent to which the G20 includes social issues, especially labour, social dialogue and social governance issues. The study’s central question is whether the G20 is placing an increasing or decreasing role in the social agenda. The study employs a methodology that analyzes the G20 documents and final declarations and examines the data on the G20 commitments and observations made at the G20. The study concludes that although the primary focus is on economic and financial issues, the G20 makes serious efforts to address social issues. It underlines that the G20 is an organisation that focuses on more social dimensions than previously thought and emphasises the importance of continuous cooperation between member states and participation groups to tackle the world’s most fundamental social problems.
