Analysing the global workforce dynamics of the energy transition: main findings from the World Energy Employment report 2023 by M. Armiento, M. Lelli, C. Andrews, B. Idini, R. Ruff

“…Data collected and estimated with deep granularity across the entire value chain shows that increasing investments in the power sector, electric vehicles and other clean technologies are fuelling workforce growth in the energy sector: nearly 67 million people were employed in the energy sector worldwide in 2022, an increase of 3.4 million jobs compared to 2019. Projections under several energy transition scenarios demonstrate that the energy transition will have a net positive effect on jobs through 2030, with job additions in clean energy sectors far outweighing declines in sectors associated with fossil fuels. …”
