Globalisation, Economic Inclusion and African Workers

This volume addresses the question of whether greater inclusion in the global economy offers a solution to rising unemployment and poverty in contemporary Africa. Focusing on the role of global value chains, digital networks, migrant entrepreneurs and corporate engagement with the bottom of the pyramid, the book examines whether global labour linkages increase or reduce problems of vulnerable and unstable working conditions within African countries, and considers how African workers can capture the gains of inclusion in the global economy.
