Workplaces have the power to give us a sense of purpose, productivity and worth, but they are also institutions of inherent power imbalance. SDG 8 focuses on the role of workplaces and the wider economy to create greater growth and prosperity, harnessing the potential of our people for a sustainable future built by, and for, everyone. By providing access to economic opportunities, workplace protections, and fair pay, countries can promote greater social mobility, combat poverty, and improve the working and living conditions for the most vulnerable in their society.
It is our intention to keep the Chapters as up to date as possible. Please help us to do so by providing feedback or new information which to include in them. Contact us at sdglegalinitiative@a4id.org
