Abstract

This article explores the uncertainties surrounding the impact of disruptive technologies on the future of work and employment. The schism runs deep between those who believe that the effects of techno-industry will profoundly affect the global workforce and affect skills through labor market polarization, the precariat, falling incomes, and growing inequality. While others believe that this phase is just a transition and that once past this milestone, productivity and prosperity will be there. In this perspective, a reflection on Atypical Forms of Employment sui generis in the techno-industry reveals the materialization of the modern tripalium. Africa, which is still lagging behind the technological revolution, is strongly concerned by the effects of this fourth revolution, especially in the face of a significant demographic dividend. The big question that arises concerns the possible effects of the prevalence of disruptive technologies on the employment ecosystem in Africa. Already characterized by its fragility and the absence of safety nets, ad hoc strategies must be developed to make the most of these technologies. The divergent scenarios on the techno-industry commentary will be integrated into the African labor market and what will be its impacts. Morocco, for its part, faced with gigantic development projects that have been amortized, is more than ever concerned by the techno-industry revolution. Is this a bargain or a Pandora's box?
