Lorena Alcázar, Senior Researcher at GRADE, presented her Southern Voice’s State of the Sustainable Development Goals study, “Poor education and precarious jobs: excluded youth in Peru”, as part of the 2019 United Nations High-level Political Forum (HLPF 2019) on sustainable development. The international event takes place from 9 to 18 July in New York, United States.

The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the left behind in the implementation of SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Jobs), to examine the synergies between both SDGs, and observe the synergies and trade-offs between both SDGs for the commonly marginalized groups (women, poor, rural, indigenous).

Together with Lorena, another five researchers, leading the State of SDGs country studies, shared their findings.

During the forum, Southern Voice held the photography exhibition, Roads to 2030: a common agenda, different challenges.
