Use a wrapping <nav> element to identify it as a navigation section to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
Pagination is built with the ordered list ol HTML elements, so screen readers can announce the number of available links.
As pages likely have more than one such navigation section, it’s advisable to provide a descriptive aria-label for the <nav> to reflect its purpose. For example, if the pagination component is used to navigate between a set of search results, an appropriate label could be aria-label="Search results pages".
