“…The CE concept identifies new opportunities for the simultaneous achievement of environmental benefits and economic growth (Hopkinson et al 2018;Durán-Romero et al 2020;van Dam et al 2020). The idea of CE was based on the observation of natural ecosystems, which are not linear (only energy flows), but resources (materials) circulate (Korhonen et al 2018;Ilić et al 2020). Then, all production processes should be devised in such a way to be more like natural closed cycles (Kirchherr et al 2017).…”

The circular economy (CE) is a proposal for a new, more sustainable, and durable economy model. As a consequence, this pro-environmental economic model induces visible changes in the labor market which are Green Jobs (GJs). This paper is focused on the creation of Green Jobs in the CE. The GJs are most visible in the environmental goods and services sector (EGSS). This study aims to investigate EGSS among 28 European Union countries in the years 2009–2019. The adopted method was literature research complemented by the statistical analysis of secondary data from Eurostat in the linear regression method. Then, some Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their measure were used as main indicators reflecting changes in the labor market. Results are presented as a model indicating which of the SDGs can support CE and enhance a number of the Green Jobs. Presented results contribute to the science because combine factors influencing GJs creation in EGSS, in a CE perspective. This study underlines a lack of uniform methods for measuring and forecasting the effects of Green Jobs creation and indicates future research directions.

Results are presented as a model indicating which of the SDGs can support CE and enhance number of the ‘Green Jobs’. Presented results contribute to the science, because combine factors influencing GJ creation in EGSS, in CE perspective. This study underlines a lack of uniform methods for measuring and forecasting the effects of green jobs creation and indicate future research directions.

“…Essential solutions have to be considered in this respect. Therefore, the roles played by those participants, their attitudes linked to the ecological issues, the role of the non-governmental sector, academic institutions, and non-governmental bodies is also of great importance in designing educational, financial, and regulatory frameworks for the circular economy and need quite a definition [13]. The innovations generated through knowledge management make significant contributions to companies' business by making their business processes more efficient and enhancing the quality and productivity of those companies [16].…”

This comparative study shows how concepts like circular economy, innovation and competitiveness are understood, accepted and implemented in Romania and Serbia, countries with similar preoccupations for the European Union's recommendations and destiny. It is shown that the similar results obtained outline the lack of continuity in applying the resilient strategy for general development and the strategic role of investments as a pillar of modernisation. Building a resilient and modern society requires fundamental and complex changes in the political decision-makers attitude and people's civic behaviour, linked to the circular economy principles, the need for substantial investments in top innovative research, high-tech products, and adequate public policies of general interest.
