Research on the influence of environmental pollution control on regional economic growth and labor market

摘要

The rapid economic development has made environmental problems increasingly serious. In order to ensure the quality of residents’ life, environmental governance investment has been continuously strengthened in China. This paper studies the influence of investment in environmental pollution control on regional economy and labor market in 31 provinces and cities (except Xinjiang Corps) from 2000 to 2018. It is concluded that the impact of environmental pollution control investment on regional economic growth and the local employed personnel average wage is significantly negative, and the impact of environmental pollution control investment on local unemployment rate is significantly positive. In view of this conclusion, some suggestions are put forward from the perspective of the government.
