Resumen

The paper industry is really important in the production system because it is closely intertwined to many activities. Therefore, any change in its production will affect its employment and also the employment of its suppliers. In this study we analyse the effect that the Spanish paper industry exerted through the production system in terms of employment in 2005 (last year for which the last Symmetric Input-Output Table is available). In this study we use an Economic Input Output-Life Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) to highlight the important impact that this industry has on the employment of its direct and indirect suppliers.
