In the context of green and low-carbon transition, there is an increasing number of studies on the impact of environmental regulation on employment, and this paper mainly analyzes the connotation of environmental regulation, tools, employment impact perspectives, and research shortcomings and suggestions. First, this paper discusses the definition of environmental regulation, analyzes the common measurement methods of environmental regulation, secondly, summarizes the main tools of environmental regulation, and thirdly, summarizes the various views of the academic community on the impact of environmental regulation on employment, including different theoretical explanations such as cost effect, innovation effect and uncertainty effect. Finally, this paper reviews the shortcomings of current research, and suggests that policy design should take into account the dual goals of environmental protection and employment promotion to achieve sustainable development.
