About FEWA
Conference
According to the Africa Development Forum (a co-publication of French Agency for Development and the World Bank), it is projected that by 2050, more than half of the world population growth will occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. This translates into Africa becoming a globally significant workforce contributor in the near future with an estimated working population of 600 million people by 2030 as per the World Economic Forum. With this in mind, it is worth noting that there is a pervasive shift in the world of employment as the Fourth Industrial revolution (4IR) unveils new dynamics and fast-paced emergent careers. How will Africa’s education sector meet this new challenge? How will Africa Navigate the uncharted waters of a Post Covid-19 world?
