Abstract

The global economic crisis has significantly impacted the labour market and in part, unfortunately, official statistics fail to represent these effects. Recent surveys indicate a significant worsening of unemployment, a greater use of social welfare and the transformation of contracts from full-time to part-time. On a global scale according to the ILO, in 2013, 75 million people had no job. Among the protagonists of these initiatives, carried out at a global, European and national level, there is the so called green economy, or more simply green orientation. Green orientation contributes to increase employment and guarantees the protection of workers in terms of health; it also guarantees the protection of the health of consumers, and through a more careful environmental management, tends to improve the quality of the territory where the company insists. A green orientation for a sector, as the food industry means to find process innovation, product innovation and maketing innovation environmental friendly. In this paper we will analyze to what extent a green oriented sector, such as the food industry, can contribute in terms of employment and which supporting strategies can be adopted to bridge the gap between demand and supply of green labour. In particular, the argument that will be presented is that new training models are necessary to enable new generations to respond adequately to the demand for green jobs.
