The Group of 20 developed and emerging economies will compile a guideline in 2016 to encourage members to carry out structural reforms to raise the potential for global growth, G-20 sources said Tuesday.

To mitigate labor shortages in graying societies, the guideline is expected to include bringing in a greater percentage of female and elderly people into the workforce and train more people in high-level skills and expertise, they said.

China, as the rotating G-20 chair, hopes such a guideline will be ready to be adopted at the G-20 summit slated for Sept. 4 and 5.
