Group 5_B | SDG 9 : Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Sustainable Development Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Introduction Industrial development has been an integral part of the history of nations. Industrial development has significantly impacted our economy to drive significant changes, whether it was the invention of the first steam engines or the first assembly lines. However, looking at only the economic aspect of growth and not focusing on sustainability has excluded many people from development. More than 937 million of the world's population in 2016 did not have access to electricity [1] . Many lower-income countries have infrastructure constraints that affect the firm's productivity by 40%. According to UNDP, 2.3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation, while more than 4 billion people still do not have internet access [2] . The job multiplication effect of industrialization creates a favorable impact on society. This is because 1.1 jobs in manufacturing create 2.2 jobs in other sectors.
