MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This systematic review examines the impacts of illegal mining on formal employment, and job creation. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant literature, the study explores the displacement of formal mining activities, job losses, and the indirect economic consequences of illegal mining. The review assesses existing policies and initiatives, identifies gaps in knowledge, and proposes future research directions. The findings emphasize the need for effective enforcement, policy interventions promoting formalization, and international cooperation to address the negative effects of illegal mining on employment. The study contributes to a better understanding of the issue and provides insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers.
