Decent Work & Economic Growth
Through Financial Literacy
Why This Matters
Financial literacy gaps contribute to inequality and limit economic opportunity worldwide
Young people are 3x more likely to be unemployed than adults
Over 2 billion adults worldwide cannot perform basic financial calculations
Financial exclusion remains a major barrier to economic participation
What is SDG 8?
Sustainable Development Goal 8 aims to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all.
This goal recognizes that economic growth must be inclusive to be sustainable. It focuses on creating quality jobs, reducing unemployment (especially among youth), and ensuring that all workers have access to decent working conditions.
Financial literacy is key to achieving these targets. When individuals understand budgeting, saving, and managing debt, they gain the tools to participate fully in the economy.
