The Impact Of Low-carbon Economy On Employment

China is facing the huge pressure to reduce emissions as the largest country in the carbon emissions, Develop the low carbon economic become the necessary strategic choice of our country. Low carbon will be cause a series of influence on the economy, including the impact on total employment structure and employment of our country. Employment is an important index of the people’s livelihood, it is indispensable in harmonious society. Research the employment impact of low carbon economy has important theoretical and realistic significance. Compared with the foreign economic research result about the effects of low carbonization to employment, The researchers of our country is centered on economic development, rarely considering the low carbon economy’s impact on employment.The article analyzes the present situation of low carbon economy and employment, It is also analyzes the China’s carbon dioxide emissions, per unit of GDP carbon dioxide emissions and per unit of GDP energy consumption, The results show that low carbon economy in our country is still in its infancy. In the near future, China’s carbon dioxide emissions in is still rapid growth, but the per unit of GDP carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP and energy consumption are decline under the influence of low carbon economy.Low carbon economic impact on employment from the mechanism can be divided into direct effect and indirect effect and cause effect. Analysis from the factor inputs, Studying the employment of three industry on the condition of low carbon economy. The results indicate that in the long run, the three major industries present complementary relationship between energy consumption and employment, namely the decrease of energy consumption will have an adverse impact on employment, the influence degree of the specific to the second industry is the largest The third industry influence smaller, the first industry affected by the minimum; In the short term, the total energy consumption and overall employment also present a complementary relationship, namely the decline of the total energy consumption will to reduce the employment.Respectively, the first and second industry energy consumption reduction will reduce employment, but influence degree is inferior to the long so big, and the third industry energy consumption reduction will add a small amount of employment, and that the employment of the third industry to promote energy saving and emission reduction, but will still have a negative effect on overall employment. Therefore we should be more careful about the policy of low carbon economy to increase employment.
