The coal mine worker employment issue will only get worse...
There will be fewer jobs every year.
Decarbonization: By lowering the amount of pollutants caused by humans, such as fossil fuels, the globe is making progress in halting climate change. A significant reduction in the usage of coal is being attempted as a step forward in this direction. This is also an attempt to get rid of it entirely gradually. Aside from that, this research makes it very evident that the jobs of those employed in coal mines are in jeopardy every year. This is a result of the global energy market gradually shifting toward more reasonably priced solar and wind energy.
In such a scenario, seven percent of all workers worldwide, or 1,95,200, will lose their jobs in the coal business by 2030. This number will rise to 14%, or 4,14,200, by 2035. In addition, this number will rise to 22 percent, or 5,81,800, by 2040. It is something that coal mine workers are concerned about. Aside from this, jobs created by coal mining are important in isolated places. It supports local economic activity in addition to giving the people there jobs.
Looking at the numbers globally, this industry employs 27 lakh people from 70 nations, including India. Ninety percent of the world's coal is produced by the 3,232 operational coal mines where these workers are employed. Of which the majority, or 80%, are employed in the Asian continent. The largest labor force is found in China, india, and Indonesia. Statistics show that there are roughly 22 lakh laborers in Asia. of which around 15 lakh laborers are employed in China. It generates nearly all of the coal used worldwide. The name of india is ranked second on this list. which is the world's second-biggest coal producer.
Officially, there are roughly 3,37,400 employees working in India's operational mines. Research has also shown that, in the nearby mining area, there are four informal workers for every formal worker. However, indonesia ranks third in the world for coal production. where coal is produced by roughly 1,59,900 workers.
