MeliaCRED: Conversations with Elvis
Has the internet created a virtual labour market for new kinds of services? Does connectivity now allow job-seekers from the Global South, young people from low-income countries, to grow rich online? Did this help overcome the borders that have separated rich from poor? If not, might the Metaverse now create this new market space in the cloud? Are online labour platforms becoming immersive labour markets with equal access for all? I discuss these questions in conversations with online workers, policy makers, academics, educators, consultants, and firm executives from around the world.

Episode 10
Software development is among the most complex and best-paying jobs that can be offshored. This is what put the Indian IT-enabled Services sector on the global map. Yet a worldwide talent shortage still exists.
As ever more young Africans now enter digital labour markets, ever more young software developers become available to the world.
In this conversation, I speak with Objectivity's Jacques Nyilinkindi about the changes and opportunities in Kigali's technology ecosystem.
