Abstract

The increasing urgency to address climate change, digital transformation, and socio-economic inequalities has intensified global efforts to create sustainable employment opportunities. This paper critically examines the immediate prospects for generating sustainable new jobs through the integration of green economy principles, technological innovation, and inclusive labor market strategies. It identifies key sectors—such as renewable energy, digital services, and the care economy—that demonstrate high potential for rapid job creation while aligning with long-term sustainability goals. Furthermore, the study analyzes policy instruments and institutional mechanisms necessary to accelerate the transition toward a more resilient and equitable labor market. The findings suggest that strategic investments in human capital, green infrastructure, and inclusive economic policies are vital to realizing the immediate and scalable benefits of sustainable job creation.
