SDG 8
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
More or less half of the world’s population still lives on the equivalent of about $2 a day.
A prolonged lack of decent work opportunities, insufficient investment and under-consumption lead to an erosion of the basic social contract at the foundation of democratic societies, according to which we must all contribute to progress.
Sustainable economic growth will require societies to create conditions that allow people to have quality jobs, which stimulate economies and at the same time do not damage the environment. Moreover, job opportunities and decent working conditions are needed for the entire working-age population.
