“…Development Taylor et al (2016) found that there was a significant positive effect between economic growth driven by an increase demand growth (see also Inchausti-Sintes, 2015), investment and investment implementation, distribution of goods, productivity, and a balance in the financial capital market and employment. It is in line with the results of studies (e.g., Auricchio et al, 2020;Bohlmann et al, 2019) from the standpoint of equilibrium theory, which adds to the variables of trade, household income, consumption and the level of exports and imports (Jin & Rafferty, 2017). Then, the influence on employment will also be balanced by the existence of a remuneration system, as well as the development of environmental aspects (Ioan, 2014).…”

The purpose of this study is to provide benefits and ethically-rooted managerial implications based on theoretical underpinnings through an empirical study using correlation between wages, bank credit, government expenditure on economic growth, and employment via a case study in Indonesia. Besides that, managerial implications strive to provide benefits to the government regarding the importance of establishing effective and pro-development regulations to realize economic growth and employment through the efficient role of wages, bank credit, and government spending. This study uses secondary macroeconomic data from the period 2010-2019 with analysis using the correlation test with the Pearson correlation method. Out of eight hypotheses tested, two hypotheses do not have a significant correlation. The details of the statistical results obtained the following correlations: the correlation between bank credit and wages has a significant, but indirect (negative) correlation. However, the correlation between bank credit and economic growth has a direct and significant (positive) correlation. Government expenditure correlates positively with wages, but correlates negatively with bank credit. Wages are positively correlated with economic growth, but have no significant effect on employment. Finally, economic growth has a positive correlation with government expenditure, but does not have a significant correlation with employment.

“…When evaluating employment impacts, the inputoutput method often adopts one of the following models: the input-output model, social accounting matrices, computable general equilibrium models, and other extensions of inputoutput models (Alarcon et al 2011;Lambert and Silva 2012;Markaki et al 2013;Zhou 2017). Compared to the analytical methods, input-output methods can determine direct and indirect effects and enable the calculation of induced effects caused by changes in labor income and consumption in certain models (Bohlmann et al 2019).…”

Industrial restructuring is a significant measure for low-carbon transition. In principle, carbon emissions can be effectively reduced by limiting the output of high-emission sectors; however, the socio-economic effects of the sectors should also be considered. Moreover, owing to the limitations of the method or data, the interactions between households and production sectors have been neglected in the study of industrial restructuring, resulting in an incomplete and potentially biased understanding of the role of households. To fill this gap, we applied a semi-closed input–output model to identify key sectors by economic and emission linkages and measure the employment impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) of reduced carbon emissions. The empirical results for China in 2010–2018 showed that relatively small changes in key emission sectors would significantly affect the economic growth, and reduced carbon emissions reduction would generally lead to high job losses. Promoting labor-intensive sectors, particularly the service sector, is conducive to achieving a “multi-win” situation for economic development, carbon emission reductions, and stable employment. Furthermore, our results highlight the significance of households: expanding consumption and increasing household income can bring multiple benefits, such as economic growth, job creation, and low carbon emissions. These findings can provide useful information for identifying the optimized path of restructuring and helping achieve the sustainable development of the environment, economy, and society.

“…The results showed that the direct and indirect effects on employment are positive in all the scenarios studied but are partially offset by the negative induced effects. Bohlmann et al (2019) [3] examined the economic impacts of a change in the electricity mix in South Africa. Much attention was given to the impact on economic growth and employment.…”

The role of renewable energy sector in reducing unemployment: The Moroccan case

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Covid-19 pandemic is putting the world into some very hard times and the labor market is currently experiencing a very significant shock. In Morocco, the unemployment rate has increased since the beginning of the crisis. In the other hand, the world is engaged in a sustainable path and Morocco has started some years ago the deployment of renewable energy sources. After the 2008 crisis, the emergence of the concept of “Green New Deal” has demonstrated the impact of environmental measures and strategies included in many countries recovery plans, on boosting the economy. The objective of this article is to highlight the benefits of green economic recovery policies, on the employment in Morocco, especially for the renewable energy sector. The causality between renewable energy consumption and unemployment will be tested using the VAR model, the Johansen co-integration test, and the Granger causality test, for the period 1990-2017. Our results suggest that there is causality running from renewable energy consumption to unemployment. In fact, renewable energy sector can contribute to reduce the employment rate in Morocco. Investments in the sector can then be made to create jobs, particularly after the Covid-19 pandemic, that caused many jobs losses.
