Utilitarianism emphasizes the maximization of overall happiness. If placed in the context of Goal 8, the recruitment, training, and safety measures of enterprises can directly improve the quality of life of workers and expand the scope of economic activities. The pursuit of enterprises is not only the accumulation of profits, but also the creation of broader welfare at the social level. When enterprises expand their scale, the increase in household income and social vitality brought about by new employment can promote the achievement of Goal 8 in practice. This approach demonstrates the consistency between utilitarian principles and global development goals.

virtue ethics
