The United Nations has created the Millenium Development Goals, which are based on the United Nationals Millenium Declaration of 2000. The Declaration centralizes on development and poverty reduction through peace, security, values, human rights, democracy, and intelligent governance. The MDG go hand-in-hand with the Decent Work Agenda discussed above. Below is a summary of the MDG: Respect for rights at the workplace continues progress toward poverty reduction while strengthening democracy and underpinning peace in society. Freedom of association and the removal of forced labour, child labour, and discrimination allow people to release themselves from poverty. Effective dialogue between government and employers' and workers' organizations helps inclusive changing of policies. Groups that foster social dialogue also support improved governance and social durability, which are requirements for achieving all of the MDGs.
