7. 1. Sustain per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances
and, in particular, at least 7 per cent gross domestic product growth per annum in
the least developed countries
2. Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification,
technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value
added and labour-intensive sectors.

education or training
Targets

and production and endeavor to decouple economic growth from environmental
degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programs on
sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the
lead.

and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay
for work of equal value.

11. Increase Aid for Trade support for developing countries, in particular least
developed countries, including through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for
Trade-Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries

and implement the Global Jobs Pact of the International Labour Organization
10. Economic growth in least developed countries is again on the upswing, but the 7 per cent
target is still out of reach.
a proxy for the average standard of
livingβ increased globally by 1.9
per cent in 2017, compared to by
1.3 per cent in 2016.
That growth is expected to remain
steady at about 2 per cent until
2020.
11. Labour productivity is rising, although wide disparities can be found among regions
Since the global economic downturn of 2009, labour productivity (measured as GDP
per employed person) has been increasing worldwide, with consistently positive
annual growth rates since 2010.
12. Informal employment remains a major
challenge to the goal of decent work for
all
Informal employment remains a major
challenge to the goal of decent work for all
Informal employment remains pervasive
throughout the developing world. Based on
the latest available data for 54 developing
countries, in three quarters of countries,
more than half of those with jobs in non-
agricultural sectors are informally employed.
In about 70 per cent of countries, the share
of informal employment in non-agricultural
sectors is higher for women than for men.
Informal employment is linked to higher
poverty rates and is a major challenge to the
goal of decent work for all
Women still earn less than men. An analysis of
the latest available data for 62 countries found
that menβs median hourly pay is 12 per cent
higher than that of women. Furthermore, men
had a wage advantage in every major
occupational category in 49 countries with
relevant data. The median gender pay gap
exceeded 20 per cent in managerial and
professional occupations, and among craft and
related trade workers and plant machine
operators and assemblers.
Gender pay gaps are rooted in rigid social
norms and cultural expectations about womenβs
roles in society
13. The global unemployment rate is steadily dropping, but remains high in some regions
and among youth
The global unemployment rate
has finally recovered from the
global financial crisis of 2009
14. The talents and energy of one fifth of the worldβs youth are not being effectively
harnessed
In 2018, one fifth of the worldβs
youth were not engaged in either
education, employment or training
(NEET). The situation is most
serious in Central and Southern
Asia and in Northern African and
Western Asia, where more than
one quarter of youth fall into this
category.
