BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. The green transition offers Azerbaijan new opportunities to modernize its labor market, the Manager of the World Bank's office in Azerbaijan Stefanie Stallmeister said during a panel discussion on "Meeting the Just Transition challenge for the Oil & Gas sector" at an international conference within the framework of the Climate Action Week in Baku, Trend reports.
Stallmeister highlighted that, when looking at the human capital index rankings from 2010 to 2020, Azerbaijan has emerged as a frontrunner.
"These are big wins. Education is ubiquitous in Azerbaijan. Preparing Azerbaijani youth for the green economic transition is a major educational issue. Also crucial is healthcare. Various diseases cause high health loss and mortality in various countries. Like many nations, Azerbaijan can learn from its neighbors and partners to better use human resources. The green transition allows Azerbaijan to upgrade its labor market," she said.
