Abstract: Green jobs are places of employment that contribute to preserve or restore the environment, applied in traditional sectors such as manufacturing and construction, or in new, emerging sectors such as renewable energy and energy efficiency. Green jobs are a solution for young, unemployed people, who not only can find employment but can become entrepreneurs in this sector of economy. Green jobs can also influence the European integration by programmes of international cooperation and knowledge exchange which aim to reduce youth unemployment and protect the environment. One of the examples of such programs is the Danube-Oder-Elbe (DOE) water corridor project. The article analyses the current situation of young people in the green jobs sector of labour markets in Poland, Austria, Czech Republic and Germany. The aim of article is to discuss the potential future of youth unemployment in the European integration context in these four chosen countries after having concluded the DOE water corridor project.
