This book addresses the question of whether greater inclusion in
the global economy offers a solution to rising unemployment and
poverty in contemporary Africa. The authors trace the connection
between global demographic change and new mechanisms of economic
inclusion via global value chains, digital networks, labour
migration, and corporate engagement with the bottom of the pyramid,
challenging the claim that African workers have become functionally
irrelevant to the global economy. They expose the shift of global
demand for African workers from formal to increasingly informalised
labour arrangements, mediated by social enterprises, labour
brokers, graduate entrepreneurs and grassroots associations.
Focusing on global employment connections initiated from above and
from below, the authors examine whether global labour linkages
increase or reduce problems of vulnerable and unstable working
conditions within African countries, and considers the economic and
political conditions needed for African workers to capture the
gains of inclusion in the global economy. This book was previously
published as a special issue of the Journal of Development Studies.
