Position Paper to the HLPF 2022: A New Social Contract for a Gender-Transformative Agenda

Workers and Trade Unions Major Group Sectoral Position Paper to the HLPF 2022

The ITUC submission to the HLPF frames its recommendations both on worker’s demands for a new social contract (green jobs with just transitions, rights, social protection, wages, equality, and inclusion) and on the results of the ITUC’s SDG 8 Global Monitor. This tool shows the leverage role of SDG 8 in advancing the other goals of the 2030 Agenda, including the goals the HLPF will focus on this year (Goal 4 on access to education; 5 on gender equality; 14 on life beyond water; 15 on life on land; and 17 on partnerships to achieve the goals).
