DESCRIPTION
The issuing organization seeks services to assess the relationship between artificial intelligence and informal employment dynamics in Africa and globally. The work will examine the potential occupational exposure of informal workers to generative AI using frameworks adapted to informal occupation structures and digital access constraints.
The assessment is expected to consider the broader channels through which AI may affect informal livelihoods, including displacement spillovers, competition effects, platform mediation, AI value chains, augmentation, and AI-enabled formalization. It will also address distributional impacts across sectors, gender, age, and skill levels, as well as policies and investments that can protect vulnerable informal workers while enabling informal enterprises to realize AI-related productivity benefits.
