1.3 EVALUATING THE SUCCESS DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

The 8th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG8) aims at ensuring inclusive and sustainable

economic growth around the world, notably by:

i. Achieving full employment, decent and productive work for all, and equal pay for equal

6
 work by 2030.

ii. Ending forced labour and child labour by 2025 and address informal work, to which

women and children are the most exposed

iii. Supporting investment, entrepreneurship, and innovation to boost job creation

According to the UN, nearly 2.2 billion people live below the poverty line and it becomes always

harder to find decent jobs. Globally, 200 million people are unemployed and 1.4 billion people

are in vulnerable jobs, with 783 million who are working poor. The global gender pay gap stands

at 23% and, without significant efforts, it will take another 68 years to achieve equal pay.

Additionally, informal work, associated with poor employment conditions, is often the norm

when it comes to employment in partner countries and remains an important challenge to

address.

Our commitment to SDG8 is an essential foundation of our development cooperation. We

promote high standards for working conditions and actively help our partner countries address

informal work, especially in sectors with the strongest multiplier potential for our partner

countries’ economy, such as agriculture and energy. We also support our partner countries’

efforts to end child labour, close the gender pay gap, and create more quality jobs for their

growing workforce.
