SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 8

DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

Having a job doesn’t ensure escape from poverty. Quality job opportunities and stable employment are essential for societal progress. Yet, challenges like unstable jobs and modern slavery threaten sustainability. Colleges can pave the way by promoting fair employment and innovative teaching.

Employment practices

Universities are pivotal in cultivating ‘Employment practice’ for SDG 8, fostering environments where future leaders learn the importance of decent work and economic growth. They commit to equipping students with the knowledge and ethics necessary to ensure fair labor standards and sustainable business practices, thereby driving positive change in the global economy.
