                  SDG 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth

                  Economic growth is addressed as a key SDG to finance the ending of poverty and comes along
                  with  12  subgoals  (8.1-8.10  and  8a.  and  b).  It  is  about  promoting  a  sustained,  inclusive  and
                  sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent working conditions for

                  all.  Since the so called Brundlandt Report 1987 published the main definition of sustainable
                  development  there  is  also  an  important  second  sentence  following:  “…far  from  requiring  the
                  cessation of economic growth, it recognizes that the problem of poverty and underdevelopment
                  cannot be solved unleash we have a new era of growth in which developing countries play a large
                  role and reap large benefits. “ (World Commission 1987, p. 51).
