Project description
Greening jobs across continents
As the world races towards a greener future, the jobs powering this shift are evolving. From raw material extraction in Asia to sustainable product design in Europe, these roles form a complex web known as the global green-employment chain. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the BRIDGE project aims to untangle this web, exploring how green jobs are created, connected, and transformed along international value chains. Hosted by leading institutions in Italy and China, BRIDGE uses interviews, data analysis, and computer simulations to uncover how Europe and Asia can work together on sustainable development. With Asia, particularly China, playing a pivotal role, the project highlights that building a green economy is more than a local challenge.
Objective
The project ‘Building Resilient International Development through Green Employment in the EU and Asia’ (BRIDGE) aims to comprehensively examine the structure and evolution of 'green jobs'—those essential for the green transition—along global value chains, in response to the growing international economic shifts toward sustainable development. The project’s core premise is that the ecological transition transcends national borders, representing a global process. As a result, labor dynamics related to this transition are deeply interconnected across regions worldwide. Asia, particularly China, plays a key role in the development and production of goods and services crucial to the green transition. These processes form a ‘global value chain’ of green jobs and tasks, encompassing every stage from design and planning to raw material extraction, production, logistics, and distribution. The exploration of this ‘global green-employment chain’ (GGEC) is critical for identifying potential areas of collaboration and competition, while also assessing the feasibility of regional development strategies in both the EU and Asia. The project wants to leverage on my expertise on labor economics to develop an analysis on a global level, adopting a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing empirical analysis and qualitative interviews to key actors to develop empirical informed computer simulation experiments (EICSE). The project will be hosted by two top-class academic institutions: the Department of Economics and Management at the University of Parma (UNIPR, Italy), under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Landini, and the School of Management and Economics at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in Chengdu, under the supervision of Prof. Daitian Li. This MSCA presents an excellent opportunity for my academic career, offering the chance to enhance my expertise and pursue a tenure-track position at European universities.
