Renewable Energy Employment

Bioeconomy

Data on total employment in the renewable energy sector by technology and country in the latest available date.

Employment data in IRENA REsource depicts the status of renewable energy employment at the time of the publication of IRENA’s latest Renewable Energy and Jobs – Annual Review, which is released in May and updated every year.

The database includes direct employment, indirect employment when available and induced employment is excluded. This may lead to underestimation since some of the data sources only report direct employment, with indirect employment excluded.
