text GenevaCH International Labour Organization 2011 monographic xii, 103 p. This report aims to promote a clearer understanding of the nature of the green economy and its implications for labour markets, especially the reallocation of jobs from high to low-polluting sectors. It shows that a double dividend in terms of increased decent work opportunities and a greener economy is possible provded that complementarities between environmental, ecoomic and social policies are adequately exploited. It also discusses the green policy measures that EU countries are currently undertaking, with a view to identifying any gaps in the policy mix. It also presents model estimates on the likely transmission mecanisms arising from these measures. 6/7/17 EVELYND 16.04.01 T737
