In the next decade, the world will need 600 million new jobs to employ the total eligible workforce. That’s according to Michael Dell, founder of the eponymous computer company, and one of the world’s leading entrepreneurs.
In May, Dell, of Round Rock, Texas, kicked off a campaign to gather 100,000 signatures from businesses and their employees to urge the United Nations to pass something called Goal 8, one of 17 sustainable development goals set forth by the UN at its Rio+20 conference in 2012. Michael Dell is the UN Foundation’s global advocate for entrepreneurship. The goals come up for a vote in mid-September.
