Impact of energy transition on regional labour market by province and sector

This dataset contains figures on the estimated change in 1) labour demand and 2) labour market tension if the distribution of investment and energy generation and consumption in the short term is modified to contribute to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The change in the distribution of investments is estimated for the situation in the year 2030 under two scenarios: a continuation of the policy prior to the implementation of the 2017 Agreement (basic path) and a scenario leading to a 95 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. The first indicator shows how demand for labour per province and sector would change if the distribution of investment and the energy system as it was in 2013 was changed to the estimated distribution for the year 2030 under the two scenarios. The second indicator shows the extent to which this increases labour tension by sector and province due to an increasing shortage of suitable labour (> 0) or an increasing shortage of suitable vacancies (< 0).
