Has the internet created a virtual labour market for new kinds of services? Does connectivity now allow job-seekers from the Global South, young people from low-income countries, to grow rich online? Did this help overcome the borders that have separated rich from poor? If not, might the Metaverse now create this new market space in the cloud? Are online labour platforms becoming immersive labour markets with equal access for all? I discuss these questions in conversations with online workers, policy makers, academics, educators, consultants, and firm executives from around the world.

Vivens Uwizeyimana: Umurava as Kigali's supplier of digital work to the world

Kigali is home to a tight-knit ecosystem of up-skilling and work-readiness programs, tailored to the Global Business Services (GBS) sector. Firms interested in coming to Rwanda to export IT-enabled services, or firms interested in importing digital services through the internet from Rwanda might find this conversation interesting. In it, I speak with Vivens Uwizeyimana, founder and CEO of Umurava, a talent marketplace and workforce outsourcing platform. This is the last of our "ecosystem conversations," before we hear from the global companies who recently set up their offices in Kigali.
