Millennium Development Goals

 

The goal of Decent Work for All and the pledges in the Millennium Declaration go hand in hand. The ILO’s Decent Work Agenda, in a context of fair globalization, is essential to the achievement of these shared aims.

The information folder linked below includes one brief for each of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Each brief contains links to further information about how decent and productive employment, social protection, rights at work and dialogue contribute to the achievement of the MDGs.

In addition, an extract is included from the Key Indicators of the Labour Market (ILO, 2008) on the new target under MDG 1: "to make the goals of full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people, a central objective of our relevant national and international policies and our national development strategies".
