Mobile broadband is rapidly changing labour markets throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, altering the nature of work and promoting economic opportunity. The research paper examines the effects of mobile broadband on labour movement and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. It analyses the links between the expansion of mobile broadband access and participation in the labour market by looking at key trends in the region and how mobile broadband can both facilitate and hinder employment opportunities through a mixed-methods approach. The results show that mobile broadband has stimulated transitions of the workforce away from agriculture towards more productive sectors such as services and industry, with implications for job creation and remote work. However, widespread uptake is hampered by cost, infrastructure, and socio-economic inequalities. The study highlights the need for more digitization-inclusive policies and broadband coverage if one is to harness the most economic potential from the technology. Future research should explore the longer-term impacts of mobile broadband on skills formation, as well as geographical inequalities in labour markets over time in Sub-Saharan Africa.
