Sustainable Development Goals

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Economies aim for broad-based, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth to provide better prospects, welfare, and opportunities for their citizens. Providing access to better jobs is essential to ensure sustainable economic growth and development. It is the core objective of SDG 8. Sustaining high levels of economic growth, achieving full and productive employment, and ensuring decent work for all will be challenging if economies continue to deplete their natural resources and do not leverage technology.
