Green Jobs in Developing Economies: Evidence from 18 Countries LSE, United Kingdom I provide the first comprehensive analysis of green employment across 18 developing countries, using harmonized labor force survey data covering approximately 23 mil- lion workers from 2010 to 2023. Green task intensity averages just 0.45 percent of employment, with high concentration in utilities and public administration and dispro- portionate representation in urban, formal sector jobs. Linking individual labor market outcomes to ERA5-Land climate data, I find that heat exposure significantly reduces earnings: each additional day above 90°F lowers log wages by 1.4 percent. However, green workers are buffered from these effects—the green-heat interaction is positive and highly significant (+0.5% per hot day, p < 0.001). This climate-resilience property of green employment suggests that green transition policies may have co-benefits for climate adaptation in developing economies facing rising temperatures. | |
