Green Skills and Labor Market Transformation: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends By European Scientific Journal ESJ

https://www.academia.edu/167997541/Green_Skills_and_Labor_Market_Transformation_A_Bibliometric_Analysis_of_Global_Research_Trends?email_work_card=title The rapid transition towards a green economy has led to heightened attention on the acquisition of green skills and sustainable education structures responsive to expanding labour market demands. At this point, the interlinkages among environmental literacy, vocational training, and employability have formed the focal point of global policy and research debates. This study offers a bibliometric mapping of global scholarly literature on green skills and labour market change. The analysis is based on 32 articles retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, with the final search conducted on 15 June 2025. On the basis of data extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection and run through bibliometric mapping tools, this study captures the intellectual terrain, top researchers, thematic clusters, and time trends characterising this topic. The review detects an increasingly expanding body of literature with significant contributions from interdisciplinary areas, particularly environmental sciences, education, and labour economics. Emerging themes include just transition policies, green sector skill mismatch, and the integration of sustainability competencies into education systems. Co-authorship networks and collaboration patterns at the country level also support the global nature of the debate. This study offers valuable guidance for policymakers, educators, and researchers focused on connecting workforce development policy to the demands of economic and ecological sustainability. ...
