Abstract

Yenilenebilir enerji, doğru politikalar ile desteklendiğinde enerji arzının vazgeçilmez kaynağı olabilecektir. Gelecek 30 yıl içerisinde yaşanması muhtemel enerji dönüşümü, fırsatları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Enerji dönüşümünün makroekonomik etkileri arasında işgücü piyasaları da yer almaktadır. İşgücü piyasalarını etkileyen istihdam politikalarının etkin işlemesi durumunda yenilenebilir enerji istihdamının artacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmada, yenilenebilir enerji alanında sektörü yönlendiren ülkelerin istihdam durumları incelenmiştir. Çin, güneş enerjisi alanında küresel üretim merkezi durumundadır ve istihdam olanakları yüksektir. AB ülkeleri güneş enerjisindeki üretim üstünlüğünü Çin’e bırakmıştır. ABD ve Brezilya’nın biyoyakıt endüstrisindeki istihdam olanakları artarak devam etmektedir. Hindistan’da yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarının artmasının, kırsal kesimde işsizliğin azalmasına katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir

AN EVALUATION OVER GLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGY EMPLOYMENT

Abstract

Renewable energy will be an indispensable source of energy supply when supported by right policies. Possible energy transformation in the next 30 years, brings along opportunities. Labor markets take part in the macro economic effects of energy transformation. It is thought that if the labour markets, which are affecting the employment policies implement effectively, renewable energy employment will increase. In this study, the employment status of countries which direct the sector in the field of renewable energy has been examined. China is the center of global manufacturing in solar energy, and the employment is high. EU countries have left the superiority at solar energy manufacturing to China. The employment opportunities at United States and Brazil in the biofuel industry continue increasingly. It is thought that the increasing renewable energy use in India can contribute to the decrease of unemployment in rural areas.
