Buwa! Issue 9

THE FUTURE OF WOMEN’S WORK IN AFRICA

This Issue of BUWA! offers feminist critiques of the current discourses
framing the future of work in Africa. This is a very timely and critical
theme given that there is a marked interest globally in better
understanding and predicting the future of work. A number of
research institutions, think tanks and others interested in labour
and occupational issues have since invested in research and created
platforms that have enabled debate on this issue.
