Economy



The Employment issue describes a world where nations attain sustained and robust employment situation that boost shared prosperity and social cohesion by providing decent and inclusive work for women and men across all working-age groups. Persons of any age, race or origin − including those from most vulnerable groups − are effectively protected from forced labour, human trafficking, or other slavery-like practices. The Employment issue is strongly aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal 8.

As proxies to measure the state of the Employment issue, the GAPFRAME includes the following publicly available indicators: job security (OECD, 2015) representing the percentage of employees under risk of losing job, youth unemployment (World Bank, 2010-2015), unemployment rate (SSI, 2014), and slave labor (The Global Slavery Index, 2016) which represents proportion of the population in modern slavery.
