African Business

African Business is the premier business magazine focusing on Africa. With over 140,000 readers across the continent and around the world, it is the ideal vehicle for reaching African consumers, governments and business people.

The readers of African Business are well educated decision-makers, with a high standard of living and disposable income, who have the ultimate authority to influence business strategies in their companies. Most major companies and international firms working with or in Africa subscribe to African Business. It is required reading for any business operating in Africa or wanting to venture into the Continent. 

Africa has a demographic dilemma. – with population increasing rapidly, over half a billion new jobs need to be created by 2050. With hopes fading that manufacturing jobs will move to the continent from China, in this issue we examine which sectors can absorb the ever-growing number of youth entering the continent’s labour market. We also focus on the progress of women in African boardrooms, opportunities for the media and entertainment industries and what the appointment of a new head of the World Bank will mean for Africa.
