Labour Market Policy Measures Regarding the Greening of the Economy

So far, the tasks of labour market policy have rarely been linked to questions of ecological sustainability. Against this background, the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) and the Institute for Analysis, Consulting and Interdisciplinary Research (abif) provide an overview of initiatives for the ecosocial transformation and elaborate future employment potentials and qualification requirements. The research design is characterised by a methodological triangulation approach and includes expert interviews and a comprehensive literature and data research (Eurostat, Statistics Austria). The focus is on the good practice analysis of measures of European Public Employment Services to support the employment of low-skilled, job-seeking persons in the field of eco-jobs.
