Informe Mensual del Mercado Laboral. Noviembre de 2019

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 8) aims to “promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”, using 12 goals that include higher rates of economic growth, increases in productivity and improvements in the conditions of labor markets especially for women and young people. Although there are significant advances in the labor market indicators proposed for the 2030 Agenda of SDG 8, Colombia is lagging in several measurements. The lack of progress in some of the goals requires the establishment of concrete strategies to meet the labor objectives defined in CONPES 3918. The PND 2018-2022 proposes important measures for the formalization not only of work, but also of companies. However, although it contains a compendium of policies to address the problems that persist in the fulfillment of some goals, this is not generally presented for all SDG 8 objectives and in some cases it is necessary to take additional measures if we want to successfully achieve the objectives in 2030.
