On 5 March 2021 WIFO invites to a workshop on SDG8 "decent work and economic growth" as a part of the Research Platform Sustainability and Inclusiveness. Working Papers on all topics related to SDG8 can be submitted until 29 January 2021.
Papers addressing the following research questions are particularly welcome:
- What alternative sub-targets or indicators would be needed to measure progress towards SDG8 in a broader sense?
- Do the sub-targets related to SDG8 adequately reflect today's grand challenges (like the climate crisis) and mega-trends (like digitalisation)?
- What gender-sensitive indicators and methods can be developed?
- What are suitable methods to measure the progress towards the sustainable development objective of SDG8?
- What are trade-offs and synergies between SDG8 and other SDGs and how could trade-offs be overcome?
- What are the implications of the COVID-19 crisis for SDG8 in general, and in particular for full employment?
