Sommario/riassunto

As Africa continues to rise as a global economic and cultural force, more scholarly attention must be paid to the diverse and dynamic world of careers and professional development on the African continent. This edited volume presents a collection of studies written by some of the most prominent career research scholars in Africa, shedding light on the multidimensional and ever-evolving landscape of careers across the African continent. The book advocates for a greater focus on the institutionalist approach to studying career dynamics in Africa and also offers recommendations and directions for future career studies. It motivates future scholars to contribute to cross-cultural research on career dynamics by providing an African perspective. The narrative explores historical and current practices in career guidance and counselling in Africa by addressing pressing matters such as minimum wage policies, equity, social justice, labour market, gender dynamics, disability and employment, intellectual capital, and educational development. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of careers and employment, HRM, international business and African business more generally, as well as practitioners and policymakers working on the continent.
