According to the organization, the transformation is more critical within the trade union movement, where young people are leading the charge of a transformative agenda.

“Youth in Africa are not only responding to a rapidly changing environment, but they are also building a new landscape of change. Digital technologies are central to young people’s concerns about the present and aspirations for the future. Four out of five people aged 15 to 24 have access to at least one mobile phone in the continent.

“Yet the scope of action of digital technology goes beyond access to mobile telephony. Smartphones, applications, and plural devices such as tablets and personal computers are used globally by young people today, and Africa is no exception,” ITUC-Africa said.

It noted that the digital revolution opens new engagement, advocacy, and empowerment avenues. “Youth are leveraging digital tools to amplify their voices, advance workers’ rights, and promote sustainable development. From mobilising support for fair labour practices to advocating for policy changes, digital platforms are becoming the new battlegrounds for social justice,” it added.

ITUC-Africa mentioned that digital technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to strengthen our collective power, enhance communication, and build solidarity across borders.
