This paper provides examples of such dynamism and links digitization to employment creation, with the hope that, over time, as more sectors and fin techs innovate on the digital platform, the trend will be clearer with more data points to allow deeper analysis and to reach a formidable set of conclusions. So far, it seems that digitization is creating new jobs, generating demand for new skills, making it easier to match jobs and skills, and overall raising productivity for the existing labor force. Survey data and more data points over time will test these conclusions in future. Due to data limitations, this paper only provides on tentative conclusions on the next steps for the digital revolution to provide strong avenues for growth and job creation in Kenya and similar countries in Africa adopting and pushing the digitization frontier.
