Green jobs in Mauritius stands at around 6.3 per cent of total employment (35,160 jobs out of a total of 558,100). This policy brief provides a summary of the assessment of existing green jobs in Mauritius undertaken in 2010. It concludes with providing a short term projection of a green growth scenario as opposed to a conventional one. The assessment originated from a request by the Government of Mauritius and was conducted by the ILO and a research team in Mauritius in 2011/2012. Its aim is to inform the Ministry of Labour as a contribution to shaping the Maurice Ile Durable (MID) strategy launched in 2008, which intends to make Mauritius a model country of sustainable development.
