In this paper, a new approach to a characterization of solvability of a nonlinear nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem with inequality constraints is introduced. A family of η-approximated vector optimization problems is constructed by a modification of the objective and the constraint functions in the original nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem. The connection between (weak) efficient points in the original nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem and its equivalent η-approximated vector optimization problems is established under V-invexity. It turns out that, in most cases, solvability of a nonlinear nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem can be characterized by solvability of differentiable vector optimization problems.
