The German Institute for Interdisciplinary Social Policy Research (DIFIS), Research Field 2 “Challenges of the modern world of work”

cordially invites you to the fifth event of the DIFIS Interdisciplinary Lunch Time Seminar Series

Dr. Markus Janser (Institut für Arbeitsmarktforschung [Institute for Employment Research, IAB] of the German Federal Employment Agency, Nuremberg, Germany)

"Disentangling the Greening of the Labour Market: The Role of Changing Occupations and Worker Flows"

at 06 February 2025

from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (CET) via Zoom

Abstract of the Presentation:

Using a text mining approach applied to task descriptions of occupations together with worker-level administrative data, we explore the growth in the greenness of employment in Germany between 2012 and 2022.

We first demonstrate that the greening of the labour market occurs both through an increase of green tasks and a decrease of brown tasks. Furthermore, the greening of occupations over time (“withineffect”) is at least as important for the overall greening of employment as shifting occupational employment shares (“between-effect”).

Second, we show which occupations and which task types (brown or green) contribute most to the within-effect, and which worker flows are mainly responsible for the between-effect.

Third, we investigate individual-level consequences of the greening of employment. We find that the employment prospects of foreign and of low-skilled workers are most at risk from the green transition, which may therefore increase existing labour market inequalities.

Short Bio of the Presenter & Affiliation:

Dr Markus Janser is a senior researcher at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and heads the IAB part of the FIS junior research group 'Ecological transition, labour market, vocational and further training'. His research focuses on the labour market effects of environmental and climate policy, on regional impacts of the green transition and on occupational change.

Interdisciplinary Lunch Time Seminar Series on “New World of Work? – Drivers of the Sectoral Economic Transformation & Implications for Social Policies.” (Virtual Seminar)

10.10.2024 – 03.04.2025 / hosted by

German Institute for Interdisciplinary Social Policy Research (DIFIS), Research Field 2 “Challenges of the modern world of work”

Transformation of the world of work is on everyone's lips. Research in this field is now well established but fragmented and scattered across the various disciplines. The challenges and changes span employees, employers and their respective representatives, the structures of companies and businesses, the labour markets and regulation itself, the social security systems and their embedding framework. The newly emerging and existing employment patterns across various sectors present both opportunities and challenges for access to and coverage of the social protection systems. The emergence of new economic and ecological drivers, such as technological advancements, decarbonisation, (de-)globalisation, and shifting demographic patterns, necessitates critically examining their impacts on labour markets and their institutional framework, such as social policies. This interdisciplinary lunch time seminar series aims to foster a deeper understanding of these transformations and their implications for ensuring equitable access to social protection. The seminar, therefore, asks from a company and sectoral perspective which existing or new forms of social policy governance and regulation are (still) needed or need to be developed further to ensure that social protection is future-oriented and resilient.

The Contribution of the Seminar

The interdisciplinary lunch time seminar series brings together scholars and other experts from various disciplines who contribute their insights, research findings, and theoretical perspectives on the designated theme. Talks include presentations on ongoing or completed empirical research, theoretical papers, case studies, or reflective essays. We are open to a wide variety of methods and methodological approaches and welcome country comparisons as well as country studies also from outside Germany.

Seminar Objectives:

To explore the primary drivers of sectoral economic transformations, including advancements in technology, environmental sustainability, shifts in global trade dynamics, and demographic changes.
To assess the impact of these transformations on the existing sectoral employment types, wage structures, and job security.
To examine the role of social policies in ensuring equal access to social protection for diverse populations within the new economic frameworks.
To discuss future-oriented forms of social policies to learn from already existing and /or ongoing institutional experimentation in other countries.
To encourage interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars from sociology, economics, political science, and other relevant fields.
