Effects of waste management policy on employment
With the aim of promoting the integration of employment considerations into the evaluation of policy proposals in the field of waste management, the Commission has published an invitation to tender for a study. This should critically evaluate and complete existing information on employment activities related to waste management policies, look at the issue of opportunity costs in terms of reduced job levels in other economic sectors, and identify ways in which employment effects can usefully be integrated into evaluating policy instruments in the waste management field. The study should be completed within 12 months.
