THE USE OF ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES AND EMPLOYMENT

Abstract

The aim of the executed research is to determine the influence of harvesting renewable energy on the labour market. Eurostat Databases provided a source of empirical data concerning the amount of produced energy. The number of the employed and the performance of the installed equipment were determined thanks to reports drafted by EurObserv’ER or International Renewable Energy Agency (2016). The following sectors were considered: solid biofuels, biogas, liquid biofuels, geothermal, hydropower, municipal waste, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and wind power. The research concerned 28 member states of the EU between 2009 and 2015. The results presented were based on averaged data on both employment and the volume of primary energy production and installed capacity. The estimated models show that the solar and wind energy sectors were characterized by the highest labor intensity in the analyzed period.<br/><br/>
