Abstract
The social dimension of the Circular Economy (CE) is often under-represented in research, policy and corporate discourse. As a result, little is known about what labour market impacts will be felt locally as a result of adopting CE strategies. This chapter outlines recent work on bringing the impacts of circularity on employment to the surface. It considers international research and commentary on the potential for the CE to generate employment and what the adoption of circular strategies could mean for skills development, job quality and the inclusivity of labour markets. The chapter provides three snapshots of analysis on jobs that contribute to the CE in three territories, using a method co-developed by Circle Economy and the United Nations Environment Programme. It concludes on the importance of data and metrics for achieving a just CE transition, alongside tackling climate change and resource scarcity.
