Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500800005
Description: As Canada and some other countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) transition towards a net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission economy, there may be concerns regarding its implications on jobs and hence earnings of workers employed in GHG-intensive industries. This article summarizes a larger study conducted by OECD and selected international partners including Statistics Canada, that examined the impact of job displacement on earnings trajectories of workers using matched employer-employee data across 14 OECD countries: Canada, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, France, and Sweden.
