Decent work and economic growth

Goal 8

Prosperity

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

What it means

Economic growth should create good jobs with fair wages and safe conditions, for young people and women too.

Sustained growth, full employment, equal pay, an end to child and forced labour, and safe workplaces.

Pakistan needs to create jobs for millions of young people entering the workforce each year; many work in the informal sector without job security.
