SDG 8. Decent Work and Economic Growth

Posted On: 04/04/2022

Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth and full employment.

Sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth is essential for prosperity. Despite progress in reducing unemployment and improving labor productivity, many workers remain trapped in insecure jobs with low wages and limited protections.

The COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and technological shifts have exacerbated inequalities and disrupted labor markets worldwide.

The SDGs aim to promote sustained economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. This includes supporting entrepreneurship, innovation, and fair labor practices, while ensuring safe working environments and gender equality in the workforce.
