The importance of SDG 8 cannot be overstated. It is essential for achieving sustainable development and eradicating poverty. However, achieving SDG 8 requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves not only economists, but also experts from other fields such as education, social sciences, health care, engineering, environmental science and all service sectors as well.
