Abstract
Generally, the circular economy (CE) refers to the reuse of old products through refurbishment. The CE reduces the burden of waste by redesigning old products into new ones. On the other hand, employment indicates a situation in which people are connected with work that helps them to earn, while unemployment shows the opposite side of employment. This is a secondary study. The PRISMA method was used to acquire the data for this study. It was tested whether the CE has an impact on increasing the employment rate. Findings indicate that many scholars stated that the CE has the potential to improve the employment rate and reduce the unemployment rate, whereas others found that the CE has little impact on employment generation. In conclusion, to achieve better results from the CE, policymakers should include waste from sectors, such as household waste. Also, all countries of the world should be included, not only the developed countries.
Keywords: Circular Economy, Employment, Unemployment, and Developed Countries.
