“…1), stejně jako přímé finanční benefity z projektů, které jdou pouze několika členům místní komunity (např. zemědělci pronajímající půdu) mohou být zjevné a měřitelné, další přímé a nepřímé dopady na místní rozvoj jsou diskutabilní a obtížně kvantifikovatelné (Sastresa et al, 2010;Slattery et al, 2011). I pokud jsou někde dostupná konkrétnější data o ekonomických ziscích z vybraných projektů (např.…”

“…When analyzing the employment effect ratio in manufacturing stage, we usually presume that the labor is temporary, then use "person-year per MW installed" as the unit of measure. In the operation and maintenance and fuel processing stages the ratio "number of jobs per MW installed" is adopted because the number of people that would need to be employed continuously to operate the plant [1].…”

Abstract. With the rapid development of renewable energy industry all around the world, a large amount of job opportunities are created. Under this circumstance, lots of scholars are devoted to the researches concerning the employment promoting ability of this new department, and have obtained amount of systematic research fruits. In this paper we present an up-to-date literature review on renewable energy employment effects, and summarize these studies in three aspects: employment types, measurement indexes and calculation methods. Our first conclusion is that employment effects are always divided into 3 types: direct effect, indirect effect and induced effect. The input-output (IO) or computable general equilibrium (CGE) models and spreadsheet-based analytical models are the two most broadly adopted methods to estimate the employment effects of renewable energy. However, these publications cover many different countries, several technology options, and have different assumptions so they present widely varying results derived from distinct methodological approaches. Therefore, at the end of this paper we provide corresponding suggestions and solutions based on the current problems.

“…Studies with companies in the wind sector in the European Union have identified a lack of qualified professionals, especially for positions that require a higher training level [8,9]. [12,17,20,21] Jobs generated by wind power and other RET can be grouped into three categories according to their location, temporal nature, and level of expertise. The first category refers to jobs generated in technological development, and includes R&D and equipment manufacturing.…”
