Abstract
The United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015 adopted the global agenda, “Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. The main objective of this summit was to support the member states to attain sustainable development goals. All SDGs focused on the four pillars of Decent Work Agenda, particularly Goal 8 focuses on inclusive and sustainable economic growth with the objective of full and productive employment and decent work for all. The Agenda is the fundamental reference for the member states in next 15 years. This creates a pave way of development of world of work with the objective of environmental, social and economic sustainability with decent work as a means to the end. This Agenda focuses on eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions and makes a pledge that no single individual will be left behind. The 2016 International Labor Conference addressed the re-evaluation of ILO’s role on decent work for sustainable development and the impact of the 2008 Declaration on Social Justice for Fair Globalization. Today India’s workforce mainly composes with the workers of unorganized sector. Due to the current lack of suitable and appropriate institutional mechanism for this sector especially, in the midst of the pandemic, the workers are failed to adhere benefits under various acts, social security, and various available institutional schemes at their locality. Therefore, the curve of the unorganized workforce in our country always remains flat. The United Nations Millennium Assembly targeted to reduce the number of poor persons by 2015 from 2000. Decent work agenda can eliminate the obstacles in the path of poverty reduction.
