“The number of jobs required each year for people entering the labor market to keep pace with the growth of the world population of working age is 30 million.”

Promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all is a key objective of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This includes support for the social economy and sustainable tourism, strengthening local businesses to revitalize communities, and expanding access to the labor market—especially for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups at risk of exclusion.

Efforts also focus on orientation, training, and job placement in all its forms, with the goal of building a fairer and more equitable future.
