Abstract

Green jobs have emerged following the concept of green economy as the increasingly serious effects of climate change are evident worldwide. However, there has been no unified interpretation of this term until now. Vietnam is in the economic transition from “brown” to “green”, in which green jobs are one of three contents of Vietnam’s Green Growth Strategy. Based on analysis and synthesis of research by international organizations and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs in the period from 2011 to present, the paper adopts the definition and approach to green jobs of the International Labor Organization (ILO) combined with secondary data to analyse the current situation of green jobs from the perspective of the overall economy and propose some solutions to improve the rate of green jobs in the coming time.
