    The document discusses SDG 8 which aims to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth through full employment and decent work. It notes that while human resources are abundant, skilled human resources who are employed are scarce. To achieve the goals of SDG 8, governments and organizations must sustainably develop human capital through job training and skills development, ensure equal opportunities and treatment for all groups, and promote an environment where people feel empowered and invested in their work. Local communities can also support economic growth through initiatives like mentoring programs, buying from local businesses, and raising awareness about labor rights and laws.

    SDG 8

    Ken Robinson once said, “Human Resources are like natural


    resources; they’re often buried deep. You have to go looking for
    them, they’re not just lying around the surface.” A warm morning to
    my fellow mates and respected teachers. Today I Anvesha Gupta
    would like to have the honor of giving a small insight on the topic
    SDG-8- decent work and economic growth.
    Human resources are, as some of us might have a preconceived
    notion of, found in abundance. I would not deny this perspective, but
    would not fully affirm with it too. When humans are trained,
    imparted knowledge and taken care of, then only they would be
    called as resources. The human population might be in abundance,
    but the population of skilled humans who are employed is scarce, its
    number rising during the pandemic. So, this calls for the sustainable
    use of these human resources, generating best possible outcomes.
    One of the goals set by the United Nations is SDG 8- Decent work and
    economic growth. This goal is missioned as “promoting sustained,
    inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive
    employment and decent work for all.” When more people will be
    employed in the best of the fields, ultimately, it will lead to economic
    growth. Income inequality also has negative effects on the society
    that leaves subsequent generation worse off and I believe this is not
    sustainable. Another problem arises, will everyone enjoy their jobs?
    “Being a good boss means hiring talented people and then getting
    out of their way.” People will love what they are doing only when
    they are trusted and are let free, to even go out of their way to stay
    emotionally invested and contribute. One should never forget that
    we all are humans first and then resources, and there lies the
    difference. Target 8.5 states that: "By 2030, achieve full and
    productive employment and decent work for all women and men,
    including young people and persons with disabilities and equal pay
    for work of equal value”. Apart from that, productivity of human
    workforce also plays a pivotal role in economic growth. People can
    be trained; technology can be upgraded and more capital-intensive
    alternatives can be introduced.
    What can be done to implement this SDG in the most appropriate
    manner?
    We all can contribute. Even small change in the thinking process can
    prove to be a big one. We can organize a mentoring program,
    inviting people with experience in a certain field to create a
    mentoring group that will help young people prepare better for their
    future jobs. We can support local economic growth by choosing to
    buy from local producers and businesses. Spreading awareness
    about labour laws and rights can help people access justice.
    Entrepreneurship and job creation can also be encouraged.
    At last, I would like to conclude by saying that by building our people,
    we are not only polishing their skills, but also building our business. A
    great vision without great people is totally irrelevant.
    Economic growth doesn’t mean anything unless it is inclusive
    growth.
    Thankyou!
