- Karlsson, Sune & Lundin, Nannan & Sjöholm, Fredrik & He, Ping (2007): FDI and Job Creation in China
This paper examines the effect of FDI on job creation in the Chinese manufacturing sector. ... However, one of the main challenges for China, and other developing countries, is job-creation, and the effect of FDI on job creation is uncertain. The effect depends on the amount of jobs created within foreign firms as well as the effect of FDI on job creation in domestic firms. We analyze FDI and job creation in China using a large sample of manufacturing firms for the period 1998-2004. ... There also seems to be a positive indirect effect on job creation in domestically owned firms, presumably caused by spillovers.

This paper examines how Science and Technology (S&T) contribute to job creation in the Chinese manufacturing sector. ... At the same time, the need for job creation is pressing, both to absorb the huge supply of underemployed people, and to enable the annual 20 million new labor market entrants to find employment. We examine the relationship between S&T and job growth in the Chinese industrial sector. ... Our results suggest that S&T activities have no effect on job creation.
RePEc:hhs:iuiwop:0697 Save to MyIDEAS - Kelly Sims & Soyoung Oh (2023): Job creation and deep decarbonization
While GDP growth is the typical metric for economic health, a more useful socio-economic indicator for gauging the political viability of climate policies may be job creation. Specifically, the paper reviews the existing evidence about whether climate policies are more successful in achieving deep decarbonization in the long run if policy-makers include job creation as well as emissions reductions when designing and implementing climate policies, because, to date, climate policy-makers have often focused on emissions reductions as the primary criterion for policy choice. While empirical evidence remains thin, we find that job creation in low-carbon industries appears to lead to greater political support for the climate policies that contribute to decarbonization, but employment factors are not always the most salient factor in a voter’s decision.

This paper explores structural changes in job creation and destruction in the U.S. manufacturing sector. The job destruction rate does not reveal any structural breaks. Labor demand restructuring activity in the U.S. is initiated by job creation, not job destruction.
RePEc:eee:ecolet:v:104:y:2009:i:1:p:34-36 Save to MyIDEAS - Croucher, Matt (2011): Capacity factors and solar job creation
We discuss two main job creation statistics often used by solar advocates to support increased solar deployment. Whilst overall solar technologies have a tendency to be labor-intensive, we find that the jobs per gigawatt hour statistic is relatively mis-leading as it has a tendency to reward technologies that have a low capacity factor. Ultimately the lower the capacity factor the more amplified the solar job creation number.

Job creation has long been seen as a worthy goal that supports economic growth while providing opportunities for the local workforce. Increasingly, however, stakeholders are beginning to ask whether success should be measured purely by the quantity of jobs created without regard for the quality of those jobs. This article explores various efforts that are underway to encourage the creation, dissemination, and integration of job quality standards into investment, philanthropic, and economic development efforts aimed at job creation.
RePEc:fip:fedpca:0054 Save to MyIDEAS - Nikolaj Malchow-Møller & Bertel Schjerning & Anders Sørensen (2009): Entrepreneurship, Job Creation, and Wage Growth
This paper analyses the importance of entrepreneurs for job creation and wage growth. ... Using these data, we find that while new establishments in general account for one third of the gross job creation in the economy, entrepreneurial establishments are responsible for around 25% of this, and thus only account for about 8% of total gross job creation in the economy. However, entrepreneurial establishments seem to generate more additional jobs than other new establishments in the years following entry. Finally, the jobs generated by entrepreneurial establishments are to a large extent low-wage jobs, as they are not found to contribute to the growth in average wages.
RePEc:kud:kuieca:2009_01 Save to MyIDEAS - Johanna Röhrs (2021): Income Taxation and Job Creation
I therefore augment the standard labour matching model developed by Mortensen and Pissarides by an endogenous job decision that is based on heterogeneous job creation abilities. In the decentralised market, job creators can appropriate large parts of the surplus from matches therefore making job creation too attractive relative to the firstbest. It can hence be welfare enhancing to tax the profits from job creation. The introduction of a tax on the profits of job creators restores the firstbest allocation by affecting the job decision. ... Thus, the negative effects to job creation are small.
RePEc:bav:wpaper:208_roehrs Save to MyIDEAS - Harold Wilensky (1991): The Great American Job Creation Machine in Comparitive Perspective
Data on 18 rich democracies 1968-87 show that job creation is mainly a product of demographic changes (age structure, net migration rates) and changes in social structure (the rate of family breakup as it relates to poverty and the history of female labor-force participation) -- clues to an increased supply of young and/or cheap labor. Job creation is unrelated to unemployment rates or other measures of economic performance and their causes; it comes at the cost of lower earnings growth and slower long-run productivity gains. If job creation is little affected by demand policies, the appropriate response is less boasting about employment gains and more attention to a strategy to reshape the supply and quality of labor -- e.g., active labor-market and education policies, a family policy, policies to reduce industrial conflict.
