Özet
Yeşil ekonomi çevresel zararları azaltarak sürdürülebilir bir ekonomik büyüme sağlayan ve insana yakışır düzgün yeşil işler yaratarak çevre dostu yeşil istihdama dayalı kalkınmayı amaçlayan bir ekonomi olarak tanımlanabilir. Yeşil ekonominin en önemli unsuru yaratılan yeşil işlerdir. Yeşil işler yeterli gelir ve sosyal korumayı sağlayan, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği koşullarının yerine getirildiği işçi haklarına saygılı insana yakışır düzgün işlerdir. Yeşil işlerin istihdam üzerinde olumlu ya da olumsuz çeşitli etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, yeşil işlerin istihdama etkileri tartışılmakta ve Tokat ili özelinde yenilenebilir enerji sektörlerinde yaratılan yeşil işlerin sağladığı istihdam değerlendirilmektedir. Buna göre, sürekli göç veren illerin başında gelen Tokat ilinde yenilenebilir enerji alanındaki santrallerde sağlanan istihdam sayısı yüksektir. Böylece, yaratılan yeşil işlerin Tokat için önemli bir istihdam sağladığı söylenebilir.
