Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of public spending in the care economy, the green economy and infrastructure on the employment of men and women and on GDP in selected emerging economies. Using a vector autoregression (VAR) model for each country, we explore policy scenarios involving a mix of public spending for an equitable green transition to a caring and sustainable economy. The findings indicate the potential for redeployment of brown, high-carbon, and fossil fuel-based sectors to green and care jobs by creating new decent formal jobs with adequate pay, working conditions, rights, and social security while addressing the effects of technological change on employment in emerging economies.
