Exhibition “Making Decent Work a reality on the world stage”
The ILO is hosting a new exhibition which cuts across the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showing the world of work as it is. A world of challenges, progress and hope.
The 2030 Agenda places Decent Work for all at the heart of policies for sustainable and inclusive growth and development. As ILO Director-General Guy Ryder has said: More people in decent jobs means stronger and more inclusive economic growth. The dignity, hope and sense of social justice derived from having a decent job helps build and maintain social peace.
Tripartism and social dialogue are testimony to the power of partnerships in solving problems and helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
