This paper is about employment, but in some cases, where the meaning is clear from the context, ‘work’ is used to refer to employment. This is in conformity with everyday language, and is not intended to imply that employment is the only kind of work, nor that other forms of work are less important or valuable

It is worth noting in passing that, in as much as arguments are intended to address the political obstacles to more ecologically friendly policies, their effectiveness is likely to be limited. Opposition to job losses in a particular industry will not be much affected by the knowledge that there are job gains elsewhere. Estimates of employment effects of environmental policies vary, as we just saw, but there is general agreement about their distribution: job losses concentrated in a few industries, combined with job gains spread thinly across the rest of the economy [12,17]. This means that opposition to such policies may come from a minority of industrial sectors, but it is likely to be more organised and vocal than support from other sectors. In the UK, such support is further undermined by government reluctance to recycle all ecological taxes, and by its willingness to grant exemptions to particular industries

Where, as in the UK, taxes have to some extent be shifted in line with ETR, the main motivation may be budgetary and political rather than ecological: pressure to cut taxes on profits and salaries, while at the same time reducing budget deficits, has led governments to seek new tax opportunities

It is analogous to the much discussed issue of substitution between human-made and natural capital (see for example the discussion in the journal Environmental Values, in particular [28–30]). Also, as Daly [23, p.76] points out: “... one cannot build the same wooden house with half the timber no matter how many saws and carpenters one tries to substitute”
