Create an innovative idea that promotes opportunity to develop or upskill workforce skills and leads to decent work and safe working environments.

Roughly half the world's population still lives on the equivalent of about US$2 a day. And in too many places, having a job doesn't guarantee the ability to escape from poverty. This slow and uneven progress requires us to rethink and retool our economic and social policies aimed at eradicating poverty. A continued lack of decent work opportunities, insufficient investments and under-consumption lead to an erosion of the basic social contract underlying democratic societies: that all must share in progress.

This challenge affects many people across the world, ranging from individuals to organizations to whole ecosystems. For this challenge, we want you to focus on one of the most affected groups - - Unemployed and underemployed men and women in developing countries.

Use the provided persona to get started, or make your own.
