ABSTRACT:
Developing human resources and green jobs is one of the key solutions to materialize the National Green Growth Strategy for 2021-2030, vision towards 2050 in Vietnam. However, the intension and method of measuring green jobs in Vietnam are not unified, so the development of research models is still limited. Therefore, the article proposes a method to specifically identify the number of green jobs in Vietnam based on the approach of The Occupational Information Network in the USA (O*NET). Besides, the study analyzes the impact of human capital on green job growth in Vietnam in the period of 2018-2022 by using the “Generalized Least Squares” method with the data of Labor Force Survey (LFS) and Statistical Yearbook. The results indicate that human capital has a positive influence on green job growth in Vietnam. According to the findings, the article proposes some recommendations to promote green jobs in the future, contributing to the National Green Growth Strategy.
