One in seven workers report heat-related discomfort in Europe and the United States
Regions with higher proportions of workers reporting heat-related discomfort are also projected to face higher heat stress in 2050
One out of five workers is employed in green-driven occupations, but only few in new and emerging occupations
Green new and emerging occupations are growing fast
Green-driven occupations are more likely to be found in manufacturing, construction and transports
Both green-driven and GHG-intensive occupations are more widespread in rural than in urban areas
Regions with higher incidence of GHG-intensive occupations are not necessarily the same as those with higher incidence of green-driven occupations
Workers in green-driven and GHG-intensive occupations tend to have similar characteristics
Jobs in green-driven occupations are on average well paid
Green-driven occupations are often better paid than other high-skill occupations
In the United States, workers in green-driven occupations are less likely to be covered by a collective agreement
Labour market security is lower in green-driven jobs in many OECD countries
Many low-skilled, green-driven occupations have worse labour market security than other low-skill occupations
Among high-skill jobs, green-driven occupations have fewer fixed-term contracts
The incidence of job strain is lower in new and emerging and green-enhanced skills green occupations
One in eight green-driven occupations is concentrated in GHG-intensive industries
Men are more likely to be employed in green-driven and GHG-intensive occupations
Older workers are more likely to be found in GHG-intensive occupations
There is limited variation in the age composition of different types of green-driven jobs
Green-driven and GHG-intensive occupations are typically medium-skill ones
The occupational composition of different types of green-driven jobs differs significantly
GHG-intensive occupations are more likely low educated while green-driven occupations are more heterogeneous
The educational composition of different types of green-driven jobs differs significantly
Employees in GHG-intensive occupations typically earn low or middle wages
The wage gap in GHG-intensive occupations is less negative for women
Employees in green new and emerging occupations are mostly high wage workers
Gap in the share of green-driven or GHG-intensive occupations in non-strained jobs compared with strained jobs
The incidence of job strain is lower in new and emerging and green-enhanced skills green occupations even when controlling for the job characteristics
