Abstract
Coal is the primary energy source of countries India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Coal is a fossil fuel and thus is non-renewable. In this study, we are analyzing and forecasting various energy parameters, encompassing total energy generation, consumption, the proportion of renewables in the overall primary energy mix, and socio-economic parameters such as population statistics, unemployment rates, and the percentage of women in the workforce. The objective is to leverage this data to evaluate forthcoming business and employment prospects within the renewable sector, and how it can reduce unemployment rates and improve womens participation in the workforce. Additionally, the existing job opportunities in the renewable energy market are also assessed. The high gap between energy consumption and generation indicates the need for the establishment of renewable energy infrastructure.
Keywords: Renewable Energy, Fossil Fuels, Unemployment rate, Energy consumption
