SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

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

Economic growth should be a positive force for the whole planet. This is why we must make sure that financial progress creates decent and fulfilling jobs while not harming the environment. Goal 8 is about protecting labour rights and once and for all putting a stop to modern slavery and child labour, promoting job creation with expanded access to banking and financial services, and to ensure all have access to the benefits of entrepreneurship and innovation.
