This report focuses on a sectoral analysis, the potential impact of skills development and emerging
trends in South Africa. Among its findings are that 4IR is a given; production could happen without
people through the substitutability of smart robots and artificial intelligence for human beings;
economic growth is not the panacea for job creation; and full-time employment may give way to less
formal, gig-economy arrangements. It also concludes that, if the country continues on its current
path, the economy and people may suffer greatly. [View resource]
