The future of work in Africa in the era of 4IR – The South African perspective
ABSTRACT Although the correlation between technology and the changing labor landscape has been the subject of much research, there are growing concerns regarding the rise of automation and its impact on the job market. Research focus has been on jobs that are most likely to be affected by automation in the era of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). Very little, if any research has examined universities’ readiness to meet the current and future 4IR curriculum demand needs, and their capabilities to produce graduates or skill sets that support the current and future labor market and technology changes. This insight paper explores South African universities’ 4IR readiness against the backdrop of general industry 4IR adoption. An interpretive interview with three leading 4IR education training and industrial automation company directors offers insight into industry 4IR adoption in Africa, as seen against the available skills sets and/or labor force readiness. This paper has implications for curriculum redesign and planning.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
