The auto industry crisis in Germany gives an idea of what will happen if the transition to a climate-neutral economy goes wrong. In the “Employment Outlook” published this summer, OECD economists analyzed how regionally concentrated structural breaks and waves of redundancies can be prevented – a challenge that will also occupy the next German government.
Which regions and employees will be particularly affected by the transformation? And what measures could be taken to maximise the opportunities and avoid negative effects as far as possible? What role could the social partners play in this?
In our next New Economy Short Cut2 we talk about this with Jonas Fluchtmann, co-author of the OECD report, and with labor market expert Anke Hassel, who also covered this issue in a recent report. The Short Cut will be held in cooperation between the Forum New Economy and the OECD Berlin Center.
