Breaking the glass ceiling revisited
Globally, gender inequality in corporate management remains a recurring problem as women continue to be underrepresented in managerial roles despite increasing participation in the workforce. In Sierra Leone, traditional norms and institutional barriers persist in holding back women’s career progression, even within NGOs that strongly advocate for social justice and gender equality. This paper examines the lived experiences and reflections of wom…
Decent work in Sub-Saharan Africa
Establishing ‘decent work and economic growth’ as one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has elevated the discourse of decent work beyond national level policy debate. For emerging economies in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the literature, though limited, has sought to explore prospects for workers to find productive and decent work in conditions of human dignity, equity, freedom and security. In this paper, we provide a revie…
A Decade of Industrial Relations Research in Sub‐Saharan Africa
This review paper examines the state of IR research in SSA and establishes a future research agenda—a context that has had limited coverage in global IR literature. Following the Preferred Reporting Items method for conducting Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses, we reviewed 52 IR studies published in 43 journals between 2013 and 2023 that covered 16 countries in SSA. Analysis of the studies revealed five core areas of IR research: union militan…
The Emerging Gig Economy and Sustainable Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
Online work mediated by digital platforms is prevalent across various sectors, including food delivery, data entry, and professional services. Globally, gig work and the gig economy are growing with improved and increased Internet coverage and mobile phone sales. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is no exception as the online economy expands, albeit unevenly across the many countries in the region. Given that the region is afflicted by poverty, unemployme…
Racial diversity, interracial trust, and mental distress in post-apartheid South Africa
The emerging difficulties and tensions in establishing inclusive and multicultural societies in the contemporary globalised world have necessitated the generation of ample empirical evidence in support of the socioeconomic and health benefits of racial diversity. This study contributes to the scholarly and policy discourses by examining the effect of racial diversity on mental distress in post-apartheid South Africa after several decades of racia…
Why are women opting out of academic careers in higher education in Ghana? Implication for policy and practice
This article is grounded on an exploratory inquiry to explain the low rates of female academics in Ghana’s higher education sector and its implication for higher education policy and practice. Though our article shows the continued presence of institutional barriers, the evidence suggests that these are strongly fortified by dispositional (women’s choices), and situational (cultural) barriers largely instigated by societal norms and social pressu…
Decent gig work in Sub Sahara Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) economies are entrenched in traditional economic and employment structures driven by the informal sector. There is a small and regulated formal sector, built upon public sector employment. Unlike the discussion of gig work in advanced capitalist economies, the development of gig work in SSA is within an environment where employment standards and labour regulations are largely absent. The concern in developed countries is …
