We recommend to make employability a top priority in national education and training systems:
Create regulatory frameworks that stimulate the establishment of work-based learning systems
(through tax policies and other incentives, which enable SMEs to participate in apprenticeship
schemes).
Promote lifelong learning for individuals to enhance employability, as well as for companies to
improve their innovative capacity and competitiveness.
B20 Recommendations: Few Examples
1
2 We propose to improve environment for enterprises and entrepreneurship:
Develop and implement ambitious support and growth strategies for young entrepreneurs at the
national and G20 levels.
Set up support systems for start-ups through easily accessible and timely information and advice.
We recommend to share best practices throughout the G20 and beyond by developing some
kind of G20-B20 National Centers of Excellence:
To create a permanent platform for constructive dialogue between business, government and civil
society to enable new approaches, dimensions, techniques of cooperation and etc.

RSPP Tried to Make This Year Distinctive
Transparency – open process with full visibility of work over the
comprehensive web-site with the content coverage in English and
Russian. Meetings of the International and National Steering
committees, as well as B20 Sherpa regular meetings.
Collaborative approach – early release of the Green Book draft
recommendations (late April), incorporation of feedback and the White
Book publication in July after an open discussion at the B20 Summit in
June. RSPP close cooperation with the Mexican and Australian
presidencies - G20 previous and future Chairs (Troika).
Inclusiveness – running the B20 Summit well ahead of the G20 one
as an integral part of the largest business forum in Russia – SPIEF.
Shaping the B20 recommendations in the context of specific
development objectives, high on the G20 agenda.
Continuity and consistency – the Task Force "G20-B20 Dialogue
Efficiency“ issued a comprehensive catalogue of all B20
recommendations since Toronto and the first B20 report on compliance
with B20 related commitments that would serve as the guideline for
further work on recommendations from business community.
