Book Description
The green transition is changing jobs, skills, and local economies. It poses new challenges but also opportunities, both of which will differ across places within countries. This report, Job Creation and Local Economic Development 2023: Bridging the Great Green Divide, provides novel evidence on those risks and opportunities across regions in 30 OECD countries.

Job Creation and Local Economic Development 2024 The Geography of Generative AI
Author: OECD
Publisher: OECD Publishing
ISBN: 9264628665
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Regions across the OECD face a range of labour market challenges and are undergoing a significant transformation. An ageing workforce, low labour productivity growth, persistent regional disparities, pervasive labour shortages, and new technologies will require both people and places to undergo transitions. This report, Job Creation and Local Economic Development 2024: The Geography of Generative AI, examines the health of regional and local labour markets, including through new estimates on regional labour shortages and their drivers. New tools and technologies, such as Generative AI, could help policymakers address these challenges and seize new opportunities for job creation and local economic growth. This report provides novel evidence of the geography of the impact of Generative AI on jobs across the OECD. It examines which places within countries and types of workers are most exposed to Generative AI and contrasts this with the labour market impact of past waves of technologies that drove automation. Finally, it discusses local and place-based actions and policies for seizing the benefits of Generative AI, such as boosting productivity, mitigating labour shortages and demographic change, as well as for mitigating risks of job displacement.

ISBN: 9289377119
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2023-036/ Green jobs are key to realising our climate goals, but only one in three green workers in the Nordic region is a woman. This think piece – a collaboration between the Nordic Council of Ministers and the International Labour Organization – discusses Nordic gender barriers and opportunities in the green transition. It looks into current definitions of green jobs, who’s ahead and who is falling behind in the green jobs race and which green and sustainable skills that are needed for a sustainable and gender-equal Nordic future. As the Nordic Council of Ministers aims to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030, this think-piece provides case studies and consolidates some suggestions and lessons learned from the Nordic countries and other parts of the world – for the road ahead.

Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
This report shows how overlapping demographic, digital, and green transitions are reshaping jobs in Asia and the Pacific and explores how integrated policies can help harness the growth potential of these three megatrends. The report highlights the need to upskill workers with both technical and soft skills and explains how demographic shifts are challenging social protection models. With two-thirds working informally, it underlines the need to better accommodate gig workers. It shows how agile policies that help improve productivity and that consider the impact of megatrends on jobs and labor demand can effectively drive the transition to a greener digital economy.

Green Jobs and the Future of Work for Women and Men
Author: Naomi-Rose Alexander
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
The transition to a sustainable and green economy requires workers to move out of carbon-intensive jobs and workers to move into green jobs. The pace and effectiveness of the transition hinge not only on climate policies but also on the skills and adaptability of workers. Evidence suggests that economies with a robust supply of STEM-educated workers and a more equal treatment of women are better placed to transition faster and at a lower cost to a green economy, even after controlling for other country characteristics, because these economies generate more green innovation and face lower bottlenecks in expanding the green workforce. Altogether, climate policies, particularly energy taxes, in these economies are associated with emission reductions that are 2 to 4 percentage points larger than in economies with a less inclusive and educated workforce. While green jobs have been growing worldwide, men currently hold close to two-thirds of these positions and women only one-third. Green jobs are associated with a 7 percent premium for men and an even higher premium of 12 percent for women, suggesting that men’s and women’s labor supply may not meet demand. These findings highlight the critical need for educational and labor policies that promote skill enhancement and gender inclusivity, to ensure a sufficient supply of workers for the green economy and that all workers can benefit from the green transition. Finally, AI could be beneficial for workers in green jobs.
