It highlights how global trends, especially the adoption of digital technologies, may change the nature of work in Sub-Saharan Africa by creating new opportunities and challenges. It argues that, contrary to global fears of worker displacement by new technologies, African countries can develop an inclusive future of work, with opportunities for lower-skilled workers. Harnessing these opportunities is, however, contingent on implementing policies and making productive investments in four main areas. These are enabling inclusive digital technologies; building human capital for a young, rapidly growing, and largely low-skilled labor force; increasing the productivity of informal workers and enterprises; and extending social protection coverage to mitigate the risks associated with disruptions to labor markets. This companion report to the World Bank's World Development Report 2019 concludes with important policy questions that should guide future research, whose findings could lead to more inclusive growth for African nations. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aLabor market$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic policy$y21st century 615 0$aLabor market 676 $a331.096 700 $aChoi$b Jieun$01715668 702 $aChoi$b Jieun 702 $aDutz$b Mark Andrew 702 $aUsman$b Zainab 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819417003321 996 $aThe Future of Work in Africa$94110516 997 $aUNINA
