“…(1) Studies on tax incentives and employment absorption. Scholars generally agree that tax incentives have a positive impact on employment absorption (R. Chen, 2023;Domguia et al, 2022;Hutton & Ruocco, 1999;Ma & Wang, 2020;Xiong & Liu, 2022). However, some scholars have drawn different research conclusions that tax incentives have no positive effect on employment absorption (Y. W. Chen & Xu, 2011).…”

This paper investigates the mechanisms of tax incentives and R&D investments on employment absorption, constructs a panel data model with a sample of 4,255 Chinese technology-based SMEs, and adopts a random effect model for empirical evidence after various tests. The research results show that tax incentives and R&D investments of technology-based SMEs positively affect their employment absorption. The positive effect not only exists in the current period but also remains valid in the next period. R&D investment, operating profit margin, and remuneration have more significant positive impacts on employment absorption, while we should pay attention to control and reduce overhead costs. Finally, this paper gives corresponding suggestions and countermeasures from three levels: government, enterprises, and society.

“…Gross domestic product (GPD) per capita can positively influence food security at the level of a country or a larger region such as SSA (Campi et al 2021;Candelise et al 2021;Domguia et al 2022). Information and communication technologies have positive effects on food security, particularly with fixed-line telephones (Fixed-T) as demonstrated by Anser et al (2021).…”

This study contributes to the existing literature on energy poverty and food security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study is conducted on a panel of 36 SSA countries over the period 2000 to 2020. Using several estimation methods, such as fixed effects, Driscoll-Kraay, Lewbel 2SLS, and the generalized method of moments, we find positive results for energy on food security. In SSA, the energy development index, access to electricity, and access to clean energy for cooking positively influence food security. This can encourage policy makers to prioritize investments in off-grid energy for vulnerable households through small-scale energy systems, which can promote food security by directly affecting local food production, preservation, and preparation, and contribute to human well-being and environmental conservation.

“…Raff and Earnhart (2022) discovered that environmental regulations have a favorable effect on employment structure by facilitating the gradual substitution of low-skilled labor with high-skilled labor that is environmentally conscious. Domguia et al (2022) posit that environmental regulations will incentivize or compel manufacturing enterprises to engage in technological innovation and adopt cleaner production methods, thereby creating additional green employment opportunities and achieving a mutually beneficial outcome for both industrial sustainability and labor employment. Environmental regulations, whether formal or informal, have an optimizing effect on the structure of labor skills (Chakraborty et al, 2023).…”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt; line-height: 13pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The digital transformation of manufacturing industry can promote the development of green transformation and promote the differentiation of workers’ skill structure; On the other hand, it will also hinder the green development due to the huge energy consumption generated by the application of digital technology and facilities. In addition, the green transformation of manufacturing industry will also have differentiated impacts on the employment of labour with different skills due to the innovation of green technology. The existing research has not discussed too much about the interaction among the digital transformation and green transformation in manufacturing industry and labour structure. So, this paper uses the PVAR model to examine the dynamic relationship between digital and green transformation within the industrial sector from the perspective of labour structure, specifically analyzing the impact difference across regions. The results suggest that there is a reciprocal connection between the digitization of manufacturing sector and the labour structure, particularly in the eastern region of China, but the overall interaction between the two remains weak. The interactive between the green transformation of manufacturing industry and the labour structure in the central and western areas has been delayed over periods 1-6. Digital and green manufacturing transformation reinforce each other in central and western regions. However, the digital revolution in the manufacturing industry is hindered by the green transformation in eastern region.</span></p>
