SKILLS OR A DEGREE? THE RISE OF SKILL-BASED HIRING FOR AI AND GREEN JOBS

14 Dec 2023

Our findings are consistent with prior literature that shows that the impact of the twin transition in the labour market has become more evident in recent years, when specific events prompted and expedited the use of AI and the adoption of environmental policies. [...] In this context, the success of the UK in the twin transition will depend on the capacity of the workforce to meet the needs of employers. [...] 3.3 Salary: what is the economic premium of twin transition jobs? In the last part of our analysis, we aim to understand and compare the relationship between the minimum level of education and the skills demanded with the remunerative outcomes. [...] Our analysis of one million OJVs reveals that during the past four years, the twin transition has boosted the demand for AI and green skills in the UK, reflecting the continuous efforts of firms to adopt AI and meet environmental sustainability targets. [...] On the other hand, we notice that for both AI and green postings, the educational requirements (B) and the offered wages (C) increases with the number of respective skills required in the OJVs.
