Indicator Summary

SDG 8 is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals created by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This goal emphasizes the importance of economic growth that provides opportunities for all people, including young people and those living in poverty. It stresses the need for decent work environments that offer safe, productive, and fairly remunerated jobs. Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) focuses on promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. This goal recognizes that economic growth should not only be about increasing gross domestic product (GDP) but also about creating quality jobs that ensure fair income, security, and social protection. SDG 8 aims to achieve economic growth that is inclusive of all members of society, particularly marginalized groups, to foster greater equality and sustainability. Decent work is crucial for promoting economic growth and ensuring social stability. It provides individuals with the income necessary to support their families and access education, healthcare, and other essential services. Additionally, decent work contributes to the overall economic health of a country by increasing productivity, fostering innovation, and ensuring sustainable development. By focusing on decent work, SDG 8 aims to bring down inequality and enhance the quality of life for all.
