This paper examines the role of growth and employment issues within the post-2015 development agenda. Many commentators are arguing that growth should be more prominent in the next generation of development goals. However, this does not imply a return to the days of ‘growth’ being the sole objective of development policy. The authors conclude that despite broad consensus that it is desirable to include economic growth and employment in a post-2015 agreement, there will be both practical and political challenges to doing this.
