Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all
Strong economies promote financial infrastructure and better investment opportunities. These opportunities enable Individuals and businesses to survive economic uncertainty and better access to jobs, especially for youth. Inclusive societies are a product of well-developed economic frameworks that help reduce poverty. Forced child labor and hazardous working conditions are a persistent threat. Youth also remain cut off from work or education.

Why It Matters
Poverty elimination requires more than access to jobs. Fair wages are necessary for people to live above the poverty line. Good jobs provide ancillary benefits for workers that foster personal development and social inclusion. Access to social protection benefits requires equal job opportunities for women and men. Without dynamic economic frameworks, youth are unable to access the basic services provided through jobs as they transition into the workforce.
