How people in G20 nations see key issues ahead of this year's summit

Leaders from the G20 nations will meet in Osaka, Japan, this week at a time when some of the core values of the organization, such as free trade and an environmentally sustainable future, are being challenged. The forum, originally established to ensure global financial stability, will feature discussions around eight main themes this year, including the global economy, women's empowerment, and energy and the environment. Pew Research Center conducted public opinion surveys in many of the G20 member nations in 2018. Based on these surveys, here is a look at the way people in these countries view some of the central issues that will be addressed at this year's summit. G20 leaders previously committed to a 25% reduction in the gap between the shares of men and women participating in their countries' labor forces by 2025.
