INTRODUCTION
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG.
are a series of goals initiated by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
SDGs consist of 17 global goals designed to be a blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future (Indana & Pahlevi, 2.
SDGs cover various aspects of social, economic and environmental life, all of which are interrelated and seek to overcome global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change and environmental degradation.
Implementation of the SDGs is very important because it aims to achieve general prosperity, leaving no one behind, and ensuring that sustainable development can be enjoyed by future International Journal of Education.

One of the crucial goals of the SDGs is SDGs 8 .
, which focuses on promoting decent work and inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
SDG 8,
which focuses on decent work and economic growth, is an important component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG.
Research shows that achieving SDG 8 is critical to promoting sustainable, inclusive and sustainable economic growth while ensuring full and productive employment for all (Pratiwi et al.
, 2.
SDGs 8 .
aims to achieve high per capita economic growth sustainability, higher economic productivity through diversification, technological improvements and innovation.
In addition, this goal also emphasizes the importance of creating full and productive employment and ensuring a safe working environment for all workers.
Strong economic growth, along with decent work, is expected to encourage societal prosperity and reduce social and economic inequality which is still a challenge in many countries.
Economic growth is often seen as a potential solution to reducing social and economic inequality, with the creation of decent jobs playing an important role in improving societal well-being (Wilkinson & Pickett, 2.
However, the relationship between economic growth, income inequality and well-being is While some believe that natural economic growth can reduce excessive inequality (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 2.
Economic growth and decent work are important components, addressing social and economic inequality requires a multifaceted approach that considers the various influencing factors prosperity and equality (Sumy State University et al.
This research aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific literature related to SDGs 8 .
