Based on a 10 years literature review and on keynote presentations, the webinar will introduce and put into discussion the major topics attached to work and employment, in a continent, Africa, which experiences a huge demographic increase and questions its development models. The ability of the agricultural sector to provide quality jobs for all in the future notably youth and women, is at stake.
