      "heading": "Methodology and evidence base",
      "content": "- Relies on estimates of job multipliers in the literature.\n- Adds evidence from firm-level data on the job-intensity of different energy sources."

      "content": "- Focuses on estimating net job gains or losses when greening the electricity sector through:\n  - enhanced energy efficiency, and\n  - higher shares of clean and renewable electricity generation.\n- Emphasizes combining literature job multipliers with firm-level job-intensity evidence to inform estimates."
