Abstract

The United Nations (UN), in its latest global governance project, envisions the balanced performance of social, economic, environmental and political goals as the key to sustainable planetary development. Decent work, due to its emancipatory potential and affirming the human dignity, plays a strategic role in this process, deserving mention in the eighth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). In this sense, this article verifies the limits and possibilities of the nation-state in performing decent work under the United Nations Agenda 2030, through bibliographic research, adopting the deductive method. The results show that while the nation-state can advance decent work through the adoption of broad public policies, the strengthening of small businesses, supporting solidarity economy initiatives, legislative reforms, and the enhancement of labor supervision, such success needs the convergent action of other actors, especially those representing economic interests, such as transnational corporations.
