The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aim to address critical global issues such as extreme poverty, hunger, education, gender equality, and child mortality. Targets include halving the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 a day, achieving universal primary education by 2015, and promoting gender equality. Progress indicators focus on employment rates, school enrollment, mortality rates, and women's representation in leadership. These comprehensive goals endeavor to create a more equitable and sustainable world for all.
