| description |
Many recent studies and reports on the
performance of the energy sector have focused on the
employment generated by investment. Governments, planning
their energy futures, are also interested in the job
creation benefits and possible identification of skill
shortages that may emerge from a large energy program.
Employment created or supported by the energy sector is
frequently an issue whenever government support is being
considered or provided. The purpose of this issues paper is
to provide a guide to using such figures or constructing
such estimates, and focuses in particular on illustrating
different approaches and methodologies used in the last
decade in estimating employment created. The study does not
aim to provide definitive estimates of the employment
generation potential of different technologies. The paper
begins with a brief review of the various reasons why
studies have focused on the employment generated by energy
sector activities. It then reviews the different categories
of employment that are commonly measured and discusses the
bottom-up and top-down methodologies widely used for
estimating these employment levels. The second half of the
paper reviews in some detail certain studies that provide
useful insights into methodology, and illustrates some of
their typical findings. |
