Labour Market Policy Measures to Green the Economy - Eco-Jobs Against Unemployment?

The research shows what role labour market policy can play in a socially balanced ecological transformation process. In addition, it specifically asks which approaches and initiatives for ecological sustainability in labour market policy for the integration of unemployed persons or for preventing unemployment already exist or are being discussed both in Austria and in other European countries. For this purpose, examples are identified by means of literature analysis and interviews with experts, and their strengths and weaknesses are discussed. Finally, conclusions are formulated for Austria with regard to potential qualification requirements and employment potential.
