Project objectives:

Sound statistical information on the issue of green jobs in the country would inform the ongoing policy debate on the economic and employment impact of "greening" the economy. Therefore, the work would primarily focus on statistical definition and measurement. In collaboration with INSTAT and the ILO Department of Statistics, the ILO would assess the potential to produce statistics on green jobs from existing establishment-type surveys, including economic censuses, administrative sources and household surveys. Further, the ILO intends to investigate the possibility of using/collecting statistics on a set of variables relevant to the existence and nature of green jobs, and produce statistics on green jobs according to various definitions.

• The national practice on green jobs - reviewed, and the potential to produce statistics on green jobs - assessed
• The possibility of using/collecting statistics on a set of variables relevant to the existence and nature of green jobs - investigated
• Production of statistics on green jobs according to various definitions
