SDG8

SDG 8 has twelve target in. The first ten are "outcome targets". These are: sustainable economic growth and upgrade for economic productivity; promote policies to support job creation and growing enterprises; improve resource efficiency in consumption and production; full employment and decent work with equal pay; promote youth unemployment, education and training; protectlabor rights and promote safe working place.

Roughly middle the world’s population still lives on the equivalent of about US$2 a day. A continue lack of decent work opportunities.

Put jobs at the heart of economic policy-making and development plans, will not only generate decent work opportunities but also more robust, inclusive, and poverty-reducing growth. It is a virtuous circle that is as good for the economy as it is for people and one that drives sustainable development.
