ICT Skills and Employment: New Competences and Jobs for a Greener and Smarter Economy |
This report analyzes developments in ICT-related skills and employment, focusing in particular on the potential of green ICTs for job creation in the post crisis era. It provides an outlook on ICT-related skills and competences needed in a greener and smarter economy as outlined by the OECD Green Growth Strategy.
The report first analyzes the post-crisis state of ICT-related employment, including employment in the ICT sector and employment across the economy, where ICTs are used as main tools for the job ( i.e. ICT-skilled employment). The report then discusses the impact of green ICTs on employment and skills. This includes in particular the development of a working definition for “green ICT-related employment” and the identification of emerging green ICT-related jobs in the ICT sector as well as across the economy based on use cases and examples. The report then analyzes the skills and competences required for the new ICT-related jobs, and to what extent existing skill sets are sufficient or need to be upgraded. Finally, the report analyzes OECD government policies and programmes promoting ICT-related kills and jobs, and in particular green ICT-related skills and jobs.
