This report discusses the research in Social and Human Sciences (SSH) funded at the European level via Horizon 2020 (H2020) and the type of academic publications, which emerged between 2017 and 2021, and address the relation between green policies and the labour market in particular. It specifically considers what gaps there are in the research in relation to the human and social costs of the green transition, regulatory reform and, to the required reforms in education, and technical and vocational training to equip youth for the future job market. In the final part of the study, drawing on the contribution of a panel of experts, consideration is given to other important research themes which have not yet emerged either in project funding or in the research literature.
