This book presents an overview of the main research findings and
case studies concerning education and skills for inclusive growth,
green jobs and the greening of economies. Focusing on India,
Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam, it discusses government and
business sector responses to these issues and how Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems and institutions
are addressing both the renewal of curricula in the context of
green growth dynamics, and patterns of training and skills
development to meet demands. In addition, the book examines
cross-country issues, concerns and prospects regarding education
and skills for inclusive growth and green jobs for the four
countries. These include critical themes and issues in the selected
industry sectors triggering a demand for green jobs in the region;
how industry is responding to those demands; areas impeding the
transition from traditional to green practices; the importance of
skills development; the role of TVET in addressing industry needs;
and reasons for the slow response of TVET to green skills.While
other studies conducted in Asia - and internationally - on the same
topic have largely relied on secondary sources, this study
conducted by the Asian Development Bank and the Education
University of Hong Kong (ADB-EdUHK) is unique in that the findings,
conclusions and recommendations reported on are based on primary
data. As part of the study, TVET providers, business enterprises,
policy makers and practitioners were surveyed using questionnaires
and face-to-face interviews. In addition, workshops were held in
each of the four countries to ascertain the views of key
stakeholders in government, nongovernment organisations, members of
the international development community, TVET providers and members
of the business sector.The book also provides summaries of the case
studies undertaken for India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam.
