SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 8: DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

 

Society as a whole benefits when more people are productive and contributing to their country’s growth.

Productive employment and “decent work” are key elements to achieving fair glow­.

The continuous increase in the population in the world causes concern about the use of natural resources and the fact that people can settle in suitable jobs to live at a certain level of welfare.

Unemployment can lead to unrest and disrupt peace if it is left unaddressed.

Achieving full and efficient employment, decent work, and the same pay for work of the same value for all women and men is crucial.

Providing youth the best opportunity to transition to a decent job calls for investing in education and training of the high­est possible quality, providing youth with skills that match labor market demands, giving them access to social protection and basic services regardless of their contract type, as well as leveling the playing field so that all aspiring youth can attain productive employment regardless of their gender, income level or socio-eco­nomic background.

Decent work means opportunities for everyone to get work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration.

Decent work includes equal opportunities for all people, without gender, social, and oppor­tunity discrimination.

The correct placement of people in the production and consumption equation can be expressed as decent work.

Economic growth can be defined by increas­ing consumption due to the increase in popu­lation and reaching production amounts to meet consumption with technological devel­opments and governmental incentives.

Although decent work and economic growth may seem like different terms at first glance, they are inseparable terms from each other.

Decent work encom­passes opportunities for productive work that pays a fair wage; workplace security and social protection for families; improved prospects for personal development and social integration; freedom for people to express their concerns and organize and participate in decisions that affect their lives; and equal advantages for all women and men.

Economic power is a key contributor to any other SDGs.

Economic growth depends on the increase in the total production in an economy. This production may be of goods or services required to meet human needs.

To promote decent and productive work for women and men in conditions of freedom, equity, security, and human dignity. All workers have the right to decent work, not only those working in the formal economy but also the self-employed, casual, and informal economy workers, as well as those, predominantly women, working in the care economy and private households.

 

A continued lack of decent work opportunities, insufficient investments, and under-consumption lead to an erosion of the basic social contract underlying democratic societies: that all must share in progress.

Although slavery has been abolished in the past centuries in human history, there is still a lot of employment in inhumane work that can be defined as modern slavery.

The increase in decent employment is directly related to economic growth.
