Results show that per 1 TW h expansion of solar PV and wind power would create up to 45.1 thousand and 15.8 thousand, respectively, direct and indirect jobs in China. However, the scale of induced job changes is quite significant and may even lead to net job losses in the whole economy in some cases.
Second, the BiLSTM model is used to forecast China’s installed solar PV capacity from 2020 to 2035. The forecast results show that China’s newly installed solar PV capacity will continue to grow and reach 2833GW in 2035. Third, the employment number in China’s solar PV industry during 2020–2035 is predicted by the employment factors (EF) method.
By the end of 2019, the total number of employees in China’s solar PV industry has reached 4.57 million, including 3.75 million in the solar PV power generation industry and 820,000 in the solar heating industry.
At the same time, to step into the era of “renewable energy” and realize the goal that renewable energy generation accounts for more than 50% of the global electricity supply, China’s installed solar PV capacity will enter the stage of scale effect, and more investment in solar PV industry will drive the sustained growth of GDP.
The first stage is from 2010 to 2019. China’s solar PV installed capacity increases geometrically, accumulative total installed capacity of 1.02 GW in 2010 increased to 130.82 GW in 2017. However, the newly added solar PV installed capacity decreases year by year in 2017–2019.
Operations-phase employment is the smallest component of the direct and indirect workforce for wind and solar PV, accounting for 140 jobs/TW h and 180 jobs/TW h, respectively. Comparatively, coal power generation technology has a much higher labor intensity (481 jobs per TW h), which is 3.5 times that of wind power and 2.7 times that of solar PV.
