| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| Research question and motivation
2015. The Millennium Development Goals just finished and new objectives are created by the United Nations, this time the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Both targeting the end of the poverty all around our world, but this time with more than twice as much goals with new objectives set to be accomplished in the upcoming decade. The motivation behind this thesis is the interest whether these goals, sometimes labelled as too optimistic by many politicians and economists, will help youth to have a better access to labour market and will increase the share of women in leadership roles to be equal to the share of men. Contribution There are seventeen headline goals that were agreed to be achieved in 2030, including the enforcement of gender equality and provision of decent work for all citizens. The purpose of this thesis would be to take into consideration exactly these two goals and by choosing some of their targets discuss their feasibility. The discussion would be supported by the results and interpretation of econometric analysis based on data available mainly from the World Bank. Methodology Using the tools of econometric analysis and panel data methods in combination with available data and information, the feasibility of the selected targets would be estimated taking into consideration their corresponding indicators. Firstly, the goal of achieving higher levels of economic productivity would be analysed taking into consideration its attributed indicator of annual growth rate of real GDP per employed person. Subsequently, the target of substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training (NEET) by 2020, would be investigated by taking the proportion of youth (aged 15-24 years) in NEET indicator. Lastly, the objective of ensuring woman’s full and effective participation with equal opportunities will be scrutinized through its indicator of proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments and local governments.
