The report "Measuring the Socio-economics of Transition: Focus on Jobs" by Rania Ferroukhi, Xavier Garcia Casals, and Bishal Parajuli explores the impact of energy transition on employment. The authors use the E3ME macro-economic model to simulate the potential job creation and job displacement associated with different energy scenarios. The study finds that the transition to renewable energy could lead to significant job creation, particularly in the construction and manufacturing sectors. However, it also highlights the potential for job displacement in the fossil fuel sector. The authors conclude that effective policies are needed to manage the transition and ensure that the benefits of renewable energy are shared equitably.
