Understanding labor market transitions in the Green Economy: A synthetic panel approach for Colombia 1: Universidadl del Rosario, Colombia; 2: Global Labor Organization (GLO) The green transition is expected to be one of the most significant forces shaping labor markets. As economies shift toward cleaner technologies, green jobs will expand, while employment in high-emission sectors will either decline or move into other sectors, depending on skill transferability. In this context, the ability of workers to transition between green and non-green jobs will be crucial to ensure a just labor market adjustment. Green transitions remain understudied, particularly in developing economies where data constraints limit empirical analysis. This paper addresses this gap, using household survey data and a synthetic panel approach to estimate the probability of labor transitions employs a skills-based green index. The results reveal a high degree of labor market persistence, explained by the role of skills in shaping mobility, and show a wage premium of 10.6%. These findings have policy implications for ensuring a just energy transition. | |
