CONDITION AND PROSPECTS OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR

This article considers the condition of the labour market in the sector of renewable energy, the employment and prospects of its development in each RES sector over the countries, the dynamics of employment growth in the RES, including large hydropower are presented. The energy sector affects the dynamics and sustainability of the economy as a whole, affecting all its areas from job creation to resource efficiency and the environment. Accelerating the implementation of RES will give an impetus for economic growth, will create new workplaces, improve people's welfare and contribute to the making climate protection in the long term. Doubling the share of RES will increase direct and indirect employment in the sector by 2030. The number of workplaces in the sphere of RES will grow in all technological areas, however, to persist a high concentration of workplaces in those areas where today the highest labour employment is observed, namely, bioengineering, hydropower, and solar energy. Throughout all production and marketing chain of RES, the majority of workplaces will be provided due to supply of fuel, production of installations and the equipment. The new workplaces appearing in the process of further development of RES offset and will block losses of workplaces in the field of fossil power.
