아시아의 새로운 녹색일자리 챌린지

Addressing Asia’s New Green Jobs Challenge

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The current global economic crisis has led to millions of job losses and likely will lead to more. As businesses and industries restructure, many of these jobs will not be recovered. At the same time,

The announced economic stimulus plans of China, Japan, and Korea contain green initiatives that could potentially generate more than a million green jobs in the next few years. These initiatives promise to improve real incomes and workers’ quality of life around the world.
