2. Emerging Markets Feel It Most

This disruption poses a unique risk to emerging economies, particularly in Africa, where digital jobs are crucial livelihoods for a vast young population.

High youth unemployment and minimal safety nets amplify the potential impact.

We aren't just observing this trend – our communities are living it. They see the changes, feel the pressure, and seek pathways forward.
