By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value.
Why does it matter?
Encouraging entrepreneurship and job creation are key to economic growth, higher levels of productivity and technological innovation which will eradicate forced labour, slavery and human trafficking.
The goal is to achieve full and productive employment, and decent work, for all women and men by 2030.
