1.Public policy actors involved in solving
this problem;This goal centers on the relationship between economic growth and
decent employment. However, according to Saudi Arabia's Sustainable Development
Report (2022), this goal is moderately improving, but significant challenges
are still involved. To mitigate the challenges associated with this goal in
order to achieve the indicators stipulated by the UN, various public policy
actors should be involved in solving this problem. Fathallah (2019) contends
that to enhance public policymaking in this region, the government should
empower other stakeholders, such as professional civil service personnel and
other key government entities. Currently, public policymaking actors involved in
ensuring the achievement of the UN's sustainable development goals are
consulting firms, members of the royal family, and certain influential
individuals (Fathallah, 2019). Therefore, the country should restructure its
public policymaking to allow the integration of other key stakeholders in the
labor sectors who have a vast knowledge of how and can contribute to the
discussion on how to achieve some indicators that lack relevant information for
analysis. Some of these indicators include effectively ensuring fundamental
labor rights are upheld and the number of modern slavery victims (Sustainable
Development Report, 2022).
