Goal description

Productive employment and decent work are key elements to achieving poverty reduction and ending homelessness for good. Decent work sums up the aspirations of people — including those experiencing or at risk of homelessness — in their working lives. It involves opportunities for work that are productive and deliver a fair income; security in the workplace and social protection for families; better prospects for personal development and social integration; freedom for people to express their concerns, organise and participate in the decisions that affect their lives; and equality of opportunity and treatment.
