Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 aims to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all to drive progress, and improve living standards. Decent work means opportunities for everyone to get: work that is productive and delivers a fair income; security in the workplace and social protection for families; better prospects for personal development and social integration.
Canada’s ambitions for this goal are to focus on ensuring that Canadians have access to quality jobs and contribute to and benefit from sustainable economic growth. Canada’s prosperity will increasingly depend on: developing innovative policies and programs to help all participants in the Canadian labour market access good-quality jobs; decent wages and social protections; reducing systemic barriers to employment; creating a culture of innovation, inclusion, skills development and lifelong learning
Food security means consistent access to healthy food, while food insecurity results from factors like poverty and high food prices, disproportionately affecting Indigenous Peoples, racialized groups, individuals with disabilities, children, lone-parent families, and those with low incomes.
