THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY CHANGES THE WORLD OF WORK. Labour markets are deeply rooted in the linear economy. This will change as businesses, governments adopt circularity. This is because the circular economy hinges on activities and services that are focused on reusing materials and closing material cycles. The circular economy requires manual and practical labour, just as it requires highly skilled work in the design and engineering of new solutions. . WHAT ARE CIRCULAR JOBS? ‍A circular job is any occupation that directly involves or indirectly supports one of the strategies of the circular economy. We differentiate between three types of circular jobs: core, enabling and indirectly circular jobs. . Core circular jobs are all jobs that ensure the closure of raw material cycles, including jobs in repair, renewable energy, waste and resource management. They form the core of the circular economy. . Enabling circular jobs are jobs that remove barriers for and enable the acceleration and upscaling of core circular activities, including jobs that arise in leasing, education, design and digital technology. They form the supporting shell of the circular economy. . Jobs that indirectly uphold the circular economy are called indirectly circular jobs. These jobs occur in other sectors that do not play a direct role in furthering the transition to the circular economy but can still adopt circular strategies. They include jobs that provide services to core circular strategies, including jobs in information services, logistics and the public sector. (Source: Circle Economy) .
