Entrepreneurship and the Creation of Decent Work for All

Synthèse

Societal changes, environment, political and financial crises inevitably affect labor markets and the quality of employment. Recent pandemic and global political changes have only demonstrated how quickly one's employment and workplace situation can change. Among other factors, entrepreneurship could play a crucial role in the creation of decent work, especially in a volatile environment.

Understanding the relationship between entrepreneurship and working conditions is crucial for supporting policies and instruments which aim at more productive, decent work, fair wages, better access to the labor market, and improved job opportunities for all.

In order to fully represent this multifaceted topic, we would like to gather a spectrum of current perspectives in a single Collection, facilitating a better understanding of possibilities and ways of striving toward the goal of 'achieving full and productive employment and decent work for all' (SDG 8 of the U.N.).
