The Covid-19 pandemic has mutated from a health emergency into one of the most serious global socio-economic crises in living memory. Its adverse impacts can be felt throughout society, especially in the world of work, and particularly in Africa, where it has exacerbated underlying structural challenges and humanitarian crises throughout the continent.
According to the African Development Bank’s
African Economic Outlook 2020, economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa was projected to fall sharply from 3.1 per cent in 2019 to -3.2 per cent in 2020 due to the effects of the pandemic, marking the first recession in the region for over 25 years.
Don’t squander the Stem switch-on
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the important role of science and scientific professions in all of our lives. Nurses, doctors, epidemiologists and vaccine researchers have been at the forefront of the pandemic response.
In some under-resourced countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, the shortages in key professions are being strongly felt, driven in part by the lack of diversity and opportunity in Stem subjects (science, technology, engineering, maths). In 2019, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s (Unesco) regional African directorate reported that less than 25% of African students enrolled in higher education are pursuing Stem qualifications and, of those students, only 30% are female.
