The nexus between labour force participation and environmental sustainability: Global comparative evidence.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The pursuit of environmental sustainability and decent employment are among the fundamental macroeconomic priorities of the 21st century. Extant studies reveal that labour market dynamics have a bearing on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thus, this study empirically examines the effect of labour force participation on environmental sustainability from a global perspective. Employing the Driscoll-Kraay fixed effects (DKFE) and system Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimators for a panel of 173 countries from 1996 to 2020, we find that labour force participation (LFP) enhances environmental quality. When controlled for income differences, the study reveals that while LFP significantly reduces environmental pollution in Low-income and High-income countries, it is environment-degrading in Upper-middle-income countries. Furthermore, with regard to level of development and geographical region, rising LFP significantly reduces GHG emissions in developing countries, whereas the effect is insignificant in developed economies. Likewise, the effect of LFP is divergent across geographical regions. However, when LFP is disaggregated into the male and female components, the results show that male-LFP is environment degrading while female-LFP is environmental augmenting. Contingent on these findings, practical policy implications are discussed.
