About The Index

The Global Jobs Index measures, projects, and visualizes the future labor market situation. For the first time, it combines publicly available national labor market data with recognized economic development scenarios and shows how individual countries have developed since 2000. It also projects how this development could continue until 2060. At its core are clear job categories and the Global Jobs Gap, which quantifies the gap between the working-age population and the number of jobs available.

How startups are closing the gap

Just a few years ago, jobs were created in government offices and corporate buildings. Today, it is entrepreneurs and young companies that are building Africa's growing middle class. Click here for inspiring examples.
