Agenda 2014 of 2013
Rationale
It focuses on fairness and dignity in everyday life. A high living wage, strong worker protections, and equal rights for gig workers ensure no one is left behind. Protecting young people and enabling earlier retirement at 55 reflects a society that values security, balance, and a life beyond work!
