The G20 thus agreed on the goal of improving labour force participation among women and reducing the gap that still exists in this respect between men and women by 25% by 2025. Germany\u2019s G20 Presidency will build on that and focus on improving the quality of women\u2019s employment. The German G20 Presidency will also work to remove the existing barriers which prevent women from gaining access to information and communications technology in developing countries and to improve education and employment prospects in the field of ICT.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"media-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"media-list\">\n<li class=\"media\">\n<div class=\"media-body\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"media-body\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Financial inclusion<\/strong><br \/>\nPromoting female entrepreneurship and access to finance for womenThe G20 has not yet fully acknowledged the potential of entrepreneurship as another driver of growth.
