In this study, we employ a stepwise empirical approach to identify key occupational groups for green job (GJ) creation in Poland. We use the operating register of economic entities (REGON) and Polish Labor Force Survey (BAEL) data from the period 2015-2022. The changes in REGON reflect a proxy of changes in GJ stock in sectors of economic activity (PKD-2007). We estimate trends of green employment. Most sectors and many occupational groups have seen increases in GJ, except for agriculture, where the downward trend in employment has had a significant influence on the green labour market. Our findings will be useful when formulating policy recommendations for educational institutions, employment institutions, local governments, government institutions, investors, employers and students.

W niniejszym opracowaniu dokonaliśmy identyfikacji kluczowych grup zawodowych dla oszacowania potencjału tworzenia zielonych miejsc pracy w Polsce. Wykorzystaliśmy dane z krajowego rejestru podmiotów gospodarki narodowej (REGON) oraz dane z Badania Aktywności Ekonomicznej Ludności (BAEL). W proponowanej metodzie założyliśmy, że zmiany w REGON odzwierciedlają przybliżenie zmiany zasobu GJ w sektorach działalności gospodarczej (PKD-2007) i grupach zawodowych. Oceniliśmy trendy zielonego zatrudnienia w latach 2015-2022. Większość sektorów i wiele grup zawodowych odnotowała wzrost zielonego zatrudnienia, z wyjątkiem. m.in. rolnictwa. Co więcej spadające zatrudnienie w tym sektorze ma znaczący wpływ na zielony rynek pracy. Nasze ustalenia mogą być przydatne przy formułowaniu rekomendacji dla systemu edukacji, instytucji zatrudnienia, samorządów lokalnych, inwestorów, pracodawców i studentów.
