Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: The World Development Report 2019: The Changing Nature of Work highlights that the future of work, at the global level, will be determined by the tension between job losses in “old” manufacturing sectors that are susceptible to automation and job gains driven by product innovation in “new” sectors. Is this what the future of work looks like in Africa? The short answer is no. On the contrary, the region—given where it is today—has an opportunity to forge a different path from the rest of the world. Digital technology adoption has the potential, if harnessed effectively, to transform the nature of work for all Africans.
