Abstract
Whether environmental regulation policy can achieve the double dividend of pollution control and employment promotion is a problem that warrants further discussion. This paper is a study of the effect of environmental regulation on the employment scale and employment structure. Based on matching data, the empirical results show that environmental regulations enhance the employment scale of enterprises. From the perspective of the employment structure, the labor redistribution caused by environmental regulation is reflected mainly in employment creation and employment destruction effects, which lead to the optimization of the employment structure. Further research shows that environmental regulations expand the employment scale but have different impacts on the employment structure in the developed and undeveloped regions of China. In addition, internal and external factors such as enterprise innovation and the institutional environment may affect the relationship between environmental regulation and the employment of enterprises. This paper provides theoretical support to promote the construction of an ecological civilization and the alleviation of employment pressure.
