DECENT WORK ATTACHED TO ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION: A REVIEW OF THE GREEN JOBS PROGRAM

Abstract

This paper aims to conduct a review about the program "green jobs" of the International Labour Organization. Thereunto, the program bases will be checked: the environment protection and the promotion of decent work. Decent work is grounded on the protection of the minimum worker rights, based on the principle of human dignity, presenting a challenge to society to ensure employment in decent conditions and achieve social inclusion of the mass that is marginalized. Thus, the green jobs program combines two challenges to society in the twenty-first century, social inclusion and environmental preservation, since it seeks to create jobs linked to a concern with the environmental crisis that is being faced, guided by promoting sustainable development. To achieve the proposed objectives, the deductive method of approach has been used, since it is initially investigated the perspective of sustainable development and decent work, for later review the green jobs program. The procedure method is the monograph and the research technique will be the bibliographic. As a conclusion, it was found that it is quite possible to harness environmental protection and the employment promotion, requiring initiatives from the state and civil society.
