#ToKigali | Relocating The Human Capital Imperative in the 4th IR

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) can help Africa accelerate its economic transformation and achieve higher rates of productivity and growth. The United Nations estimates that Africa’s population will more than double between 2015 and 2050. There will be a substantial demographic shift, as the continent’s workingage population rises. This panel will discuss the human capital imperatives for the 4IR. It will seek ways to address unemployment and underemployment in a world where labour arbitrage is no longer an option. This panel will examine the role of the private sector in these efforts and suggest how regional, continental and
national initiatives may be employed.. This panel at the Kigali Global Dialogue #ToKigali featured
