摘要
This study provides novel evidence on the 'greening' of occupational structure using comprehensive employment data from Finland. The results of the decomposition analysis reveal that the increase in environmentally friendly green jobs and the concurrent decrease in polluting brown jobs are primarily explained by individual workers changing their occupations. However, the results also show that younger cohorts and previously unemployed individuals are less likely to enter green jobs, suggesting a role for both education and labor market policies in improving the ability of new entrants to take on green occupations.
