Italian green economy: more growth and more work

The employment prospects of the green economy are particularly interesting: the latest Censis-Confcooperative Report predicts 500 jobs by 2023.

Italian green economy: more growth and more work

Time is running short . Until 2023, every five new jobs created by companies active in Italy, one will be generated by eco-sustainable companies. An almost revolutionary trend for the Italian system which, between ups and downs, between promised and then forgotten incentives, gains positions in the global green economy. The investments are heavily borne by the companies which, according to the Censis-Confcooperative Report.” The economy that generates the future'” by 2023 they will create 500 new jobs. A global macroeconomic value that already today is equal to 2,4% of GDP. It is not for nothing that the green sector has been defined “the new Eldorado of the Italian occupation”.

Data is the mirror of eco-sustainable companies. A type of company that will absorb 50% more manpower than digital companies (which will not be able to go beyond 214 new jobs), and 30% more than all companies in the health and well-being chain. The latter, although well placed on the world market, will hire over 300 units. It is also a good sign that eco-sustainable employment - considering the estimates of Italian GDP elaborated by the International Monetary Fund - would cover a share of 18,9% of the total up to 2023. The Italian scenario is of a need, between 2019 and 2023, of 2 million and 542 thousand new jobs.

The transition to a clean economy, the researchers say, is causing a structural change in employment in advanced and emerging countries. The need for green skills and the adoption of new technologies in the field of sustainability are accompanying the reconversion of production methods and the orientation of economic growth at a global level. Italy only needs greater support with green-oriented public investments to demarcate a change of perspective and competitiveness. The indicator signals that come from countries that have made these choices, such as Obama's USA, must make us think. “In 2017 – said Maurizio Gardini, president of Confcooperative – the economic estimate of the disastrous effects of events connected to climate change reached 290 billion euros. Avoiding these costs could increase the GDP of the G2050 countries by 20% net by 4,7”
