Founders Friday 040: Beyond the Algorithm; Understanding the Realities of Gig Work in Africa

The rise of the gig economy in Africa has opened up new doors for millions of young, ambitious workers like ourselves looking for flexible employment opportunities and great pay. However, as the use of algorithms for managing and evaluating gig workers and competition from Artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent, we must also consider the human cost of this shift. From the lack of human interaction and support to concerns around mental health, motivation, and power imbalances- we dig into the far-reaching impact of the remote work revolution! We explore real-world examples from our experiences and observations in Africa and beyond, and discuss what this means for our generation!  Hop into the conversation to learn more about how technology is changing the face of work in Africa, and what this means for the future of the continent's economy.
