- Abstract:
- Climate change, a global phenomenon with wide consequences, has been the subject of many researches in recent years. The effects of this phenomenon are especially evident in developing countries such as Iran, where people often lack the necessary resources for effective adaptation. In this research, considering the challenges in Iran’s labor market, we intend to estimate the effect of weather change on employment. For this purpose, we have used the daily changes of temperature and rainfall in a panel model with fixed effects for causal identification and have shown that a day with a temperature of 20-32 degrees causes a 0.2 percent decrease in employment compared to a 0-10 degree day and an increase of every millimeter of annual rainfall causes a 0.008 precent increase in employment. This reduction in employment occurs mainly through the reduction of employment in the agricultural sector. The increase of 10-20 degree days and 20-32 degree days compared to 0-10 degree days reduces agricultural employment by about 0.3 to 0.4 percent. Another significant finding of this research is the effect of increasing human capital (inclusiveness of secondary education and higher in the province) on mitigating the destructive effect of weather change
