International Day for the Eradication of Poverty: Making Jobs Work for People and the Planet

In the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we delved into a pivotal conversation on the role of quality jobs in poverty alleviation. This UNDP-led event brought together a dynamic mix of thought leaders from the development world, influential voices from civil society, innovators from the private sector, and scholars from academia to explore how quality jobs can be a catalyst for inclusive growth, especially in an era of multiple transitions and overlapping global crises. Our collective aim is to identify actionable strategies that ensure these transitions are just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. The insights gathered will inform policies and partnerships essential for creating sustainable and quality job opportunities.
