Fallout from the Green Transition? Potential regional political discontent from employment declines in the metals, non-metallic minerals and chemicals sector
Zhen Jie Im is a postdoctoral researcher at Copenhagen Business School (CBS). He is also affiliated with the University of Helsinki and LUT University. His primary research fields are political science and social policy. His research focuses on the impact of labor market transformations on political behavior, and how social policies may moderate this impact. He is also interested in examining unequal access to social policies in European welfare states.
During his time at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Im will explore the labor market outcomes of workers whose industrial jobs are potentially at risk from the green transition and consider their variation across different European welfare states. He will also study the political consequences of these labor market outcomes and notably on public opinion and voting behavior.
Im received his Ph.D. from the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Social Sciences in 2021.
