SDG 8 - Decent work and economic growth
Economic growth should benefit the whole planet, ensuring financial progress creates fulfilling jobs without harming the environment. We must protect labor rights and end modern slavery and child labor. By promoting job creation and expanding access to banking and financial services, we can ensure everyone benefits from entrepreneurship and innovation.
LJMU is working to promote sustainable, and equitable, economic growth. Through our work with businesses across the region, we’re supporting innovation to create low carbon goods, processes and services with international reach. On campus, our Accounting, Business and Law Clinics are providing students with valuable work experience while supporting our local community, plus our widening participation work is ensuring sustained support for underrepresented groups.
