The Afropolitan will be taking a brief hiatus to re-envision its next steps. Stay tuned for an exciting new chapter! In the meantime, we're sharing our very first episode from October, which focused on how older people in Mali are consuming news on TikTok, and why this symbolizes the larger trends sweeping through the Sahel. In this episode, Catherine Nzuki is joined by Doussouba Konaté, the Country Director of Accountability Lab Mali. We unpack two of these shifts in the Sahel. First, growing anti-French sentiments in the region has led to language decolonization in Mali, in which a growing number of people would rather receive their news in Bambara, one of Mali's national languages, over French. Secondly, growing internet access has connected people across Mali and has brought more visibility to the plight of Malians living in conflict-affected areas. However, as social media usage grows, so too does online misinformation and disinformation.

What does it take to reenergize a city's legacy and prepare it for a greener, more sustainable future? In this episode, we visit St. Thomas, Ontario, a Canadian city that's turning its transportation heritage into a launch pad for innovation. At the heart of this transformation is Yarmouth Yards, a 1,500-acre industrial park anchored by PowerCo's electric vehicle battery gigafactory. Join the Mayor of St. Thomas, Joe Preston, Arcadis Canada's Country Director, Scott Arbuckle, and our special correspondent Grayden Laing as they discuss the vision, collaboration, and bold steps driving this transformational project—from economic growth and sustainable infrastructure to brownfield redevelopment.

More than two thousand people are now battling the deadly disease as it sweeps through the country - which is already suffering through what has been called the most devastating humanitarian crisis in the world. The country is caught in a ruinous civil war as the armed forces battle a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces or RSF. Sudan's Country Director for Save the Children Mohamed Abdi-ladif spoke to Leiataualesa Susana Lei'ataua.

IrishJobs has published the results of its Jobs Index for Q4 2024, revealing that the level of hybrid working vacancies remains unchanged quarter on quarter, an indicator that job candidates continue to hold the balance of power in the talent market. Findings from the Index show that the proportion of hybrid working vacancies as a share of total vacancies has remained stable at 10.7% for the second successive quarter. Over the past eight quarters, the share of hybrid working vacancies has fluctuated between 12.2% and 10.7%, indicating that the hybrid work model will remain a substantial feature of the Irish labour market. As we move through the year, tracking this metric will provide important insight into whether candidates continue to hold the balance of power in the talent market throughout 2025. Globally, there are signs of an emerging trend in which large companies and Governments are bringing employees back to the office full-time. In contrast, the number of fully remote vacancies has fallen by 80.6% since the high recorded in Q3 2022. The share of fully remote vacancies as a proportion of total vacancies was 2.3% in Q4 2024, close to its lowest level since 2019. These findings indicate that fully remote work vacancies will remain stable at a relatively low, near pre-pandemic, level across 2025 and beyond. Sectoral Trends The Catering sector (11%), which includes jobs in hospitality, accounted for the largest number of vacancies over the past three months. Management (7%), Customer Service (7%), Health (7%), and Sales (6%) completed the top five sectors that made up the largest number of vacancies. As construction related activity continues to rise to meet demand for housing and other infrastructure, the construction sector (5.7%) accounted for the sixth largest source of job vacancies, overtaking the IT sector (5%) for the second successive quarter. The Engineering sector generated a similar proportion of job vacancies (5%) as the IT sector, indicating the importance of interrelated sectors in supporting construction activity. Commenting on the index's release, Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group Ireland with responsibility for IrishJobs, said: "The latest economic forecast from Ibec shows that the Irish economy will continue to grow in 2025, predicting GDP growth of 1.7% in 2025 and 2.1% in 2026. Employment is forecast to expand at a rate of 2.4% this year and a further 2% in 2026. The IrishJobs Q4 Jobs Index provides an important insight into shifting labour market trends against this evolving backdrop. There has been much focus on return-to-office mandates by large corporates in Ireland and internationally, and IrishJobs data shows fully remote working continues to fall as an employment offering. However, our analysis also reveals growing stability in the level of hybrid working vacancies offered by employers in Ireland, indicating this work model is likely to remain a feature of the labour market. However, as we move through the year, it will be interesting to track this metric and see whether candidates continue to hold the balance of power in the talent market throughout 2025. With unemployment close to record lows and many employers navigating a highly competitive market for talent, incorporating hybrid working can create a more attractive offering for potential talent. IrishJobs research shows that nearly half of jobseekers would be willing to turn down opportunities that do not provide hybrid or fully remote working options." Cautious hiring sentiment prevails The Index reveals a 9% quarterly decrease in the number of new job vacancies created. While forecasted economic growth remains strong for 2025, heightened geopolitical uncertainty and a shifting international trading environment are prompting a cautious hiring sentiment across many industries. Overall, sectors associated with the domestic economy are more resilient than internationally traded sectors. The Construction (6%), Travel (3%) ...

Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group for Ireland and responsible for IrishJobs, has revealed his top five hiring predictions for 2024. The recruitment leader forecasts that more recruiters will continue to adopt AI to help drive efficiency and productivity. With near-record low levels of unemployment forecasted to continue in 2025, businesses in Ireland will navigate a tight labour market that presents challenges in attracting and retaining high-calibre talent. Recent data from IrishJobs showed high demand over the past twelve months for construction, accounting, and healthcare professionals. In this competitive talent market, IrishJobs research shows that 1 in 3 recruiters are experiencing high levels of physical and mental stress due to their workload. While 28% of employers are already using AI in recruitment to automate manual recruitment tasks and alleviate some of these pressures, that figure is expected to rise significantly over the coming months. Top 5 Hiring Predictions: Prediction 1: Adoption of AI among recruiters set to accelerate As the AI transformation accelerates, more recruiters are set to use the technology as part of their everyday role. IrishJobs research shows that more than 1 in 4 (28%) employers in Ireland are already using AI in recruitment processes. The technology can help to reduce the high workload for recruiters by reducing the time spent on manual and repetitive tasks. Sending candidates reminders, tracking application status, and scheduling job interviews are some of the most common ways in which the technology is already being used to enhance productivity during hiring. The use of AI among recruiters will grow rapidly in 2025 as more companies adopt clear guidelines on its usage and provide skilling programmes to their workforce. Less than 1 in 4 firms (24%) have already established an organisation-wide AI policy, indicating the potential adoption of the technology to rise rapidly as workplace guidelines are established. Prediction 2: Hybrid working is here to stay long-term Despite some high-profile return-to-the-office mandates by large multinationals this year, IrishJobs data shows that the proportion of hybrid working vacancies has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 11.2% and 12.4% over the past six quarters. This stabilisation indicates that hybrid working is set to remain a key feature of the labour market in Ireland next year. With a tight labour market set to continue in 2025, employers will need to consider how best to formalise hybrid working arrangements in their offering in order to meet candidate demand for flexible working. IrishJobs research shows that nearly half of jobseekers (47%) would be willing to turn down opportunities that do not provide hybrid or fully remote working options. In contrast, the future of fully remote homeworking in Ireland remains to be determined, with the number of remote job vacancies falling to its lowest level in four years in October. Prediction 3: Skills shortages set to drive competition for talent in construction & skilled trades sectors 3 in 5 of the most in-demand roles in 2024 were construction professions, according to IrishJobs data published in December, reflecting a widening skills shortage across the construction, skilled trades, and related sectors. The lack of skilled workers necessary to meet Ireland's ambitious housing targets over the coming years was recently highlighted in a report by the Department of Higher Education and Skills. These shortages are likely to become more acute in 2025 due to an ageing workforce and scarcity of specialists with the skills needed to futureproof the industry. Investment in skills and training programmes, international hiring, and engaging a younger workforce will be crucial to meeting the skills needs of these sectors in 2025. Prediction 4: Importance of employee wellbeing and retention to grow With a highly competitive labour market set to continue in 2025, an increase...

IrishJobs has published new data that reveals workers in the construction industry were among the most in-demand professions in 2024, as the sector faces a mounting skills shortage. Findings show that Site Managers were the most sought-after profession by employers in 2024, with demand growing 39% year-on-year (Y-o-Y). The five most in-demand professionals were dominated by the construction sector, with Site Engineers in third position and Project Managers fourth most popular. Demand for Site Engineers increased by 15% Y-o-Y and 10% Y-o-Y for Project Managers. Accountants hold the position of the second most sought-after role in the rankings. The insights are based on data from the IrishJobs TalentBank, the hiring platform's CV database of over 1.4 million job candidates, which enables employers to source and connect with talent. An analysis of TalentBank searches by recruiters and employers over the past twelve months reveals the most in-demand professions. Quantity Surveyors (6th), Engineers (7th), and Senior Site Engineers (10th) all feature in the top ten most in-demand professions. Electricians (9th) appear in the top 10 list for the first time, indicating the importance of the interrelated skilled trades sector in supporting construction activity. These rankings align with data from the IrishJobs Jobs Index, published earlier this year, that showed the proportion of new job vacancies created in the construction sector has started to edge out the IT sector. Nurses, Accountants, and Financial Accountants are also among the most sought-after professionals by employers this year. Nurses are 5th overall in the most sought-after roles while Financial Accountants fell from 3rd to 7th position. IrishJobs data on the most frequently posted job openings by employers in 2024 provide further insights on sectoral trends in job demand. As the AI transformation accelerates, there are clear signs of rising demand for skilled specialists in the technology. In the IT sector, Automation Engineer is the most in-demand job for 2024, while Data Scientist is the most in-demand job in the Science industry. Risk managers were the most-in-demand jobs in the Banking sector, QC analysts in the Manufacturing sector, and Finance Business partners in the Finance sector. Commenting on the release of the findings, Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group Ireland with responsibility for IrishJobs, said: "Against a backdrop of near record low levels of unemployment, businesses in Ireland continue to navigate an exceptionally tight labour market that presents challenges in attracting and retaining high calibre talent. Published today, data on searches of the IrishJobs TalentBank this year, a database of 1.4 million CVs of job candidates across the island of Ireland, indicates sectors of the economy experiencing skills shortages due to this labour market dynamic. The significant growth in demand for professionals in construction and related sectors clearly reflects the size of the challenge facing these sectors in meeting their talent needs. As pressures grow to ramp up construction activity further to meet Ireland's ambitious housing targets, the need for more skilled talent in the sector is only likely to accelerate. While talent shortages in the construction sector are not unexpected, our findings also reveal growing skills shortages in complementary sectors such as skilled trades and engineering. Given the importance of these professions in addressing Ireland's future housing and infrastructure needs, more focus will be needed to address the skills needs of these sectors. Investment in skills and training programmes, alongside other strategies such as international hiring, can help to meet the growing needs of these sectors."

Writer Hamza Koudri joins host Bhakti Shringarpure from Algiers to talk about his debut novel Sand Roses. A historical novel about the semi-nomadic Ouled Nail group in Algeria, it focuses on the women who are trained as dancers—but are also forced into sex work by the community at an early age. The novel follows twin sisters, dancers Salima and Fahima, who eke out a living in the town of Bousaada at the height of French colonialism, and inadvertently find themselves at the center of the violence of the French army. Koudri belongs to a small but growing community of Algerian writers who have begun to embrace English language and culture. Even then, the concerns of his novel remain firmly Algerian as it is situated in a distinctly anti-colonial historical moment against the French while also excavating the forgotten history of the Ouled Nail community. In this conversation, Koudri speaks about the thriving Algerian literary scene and how a random podcast led him down a research rabbit hole about the Ouled Nail community. He discussed the limits and delimits of the representing violence, especially against women. Lastly, he talked about the actual desert curiosity that the novel is named after: a sand rose.This interview was originally published at The Polis Project.

IrishJobs has published new research that reveals Ireland's competitive hiring market is putting recruiters at risk of burnout. Findings show that 1 in 3 (33%) recruiters describe themselves as heavily, or very heavily, physically and mentally stressed due to their workload. The IrishJobs Recruiter Snapshot survey polled recruitment decision-makers in 250 businesses across Ireland. With the labour market close to full employment, more than half (51%) of recruiters report that their workload has increased over the past two to three years as they navigate a highly competitive market for talent. An increase in the amount of time needed to fill job vacancies is creating additional complexities in recruitment. 57% of recruiters report that the average duration for filling a job has increased in the past 2 to 3 years as they face skills shortages and increased competition to attract the best people. The impact of slower hiring is greatest among large companies, where 72% of firms have seen the average time taken to fill positions rise. Findings indicate that these increased pressures are having a direct impact on wellbeing across the recruitment industry. 33% of recruiters are experiencing high levels of physical and mental stress in their role - a concerning sign that burnout is on the rise across the sector. Stress levels are highest among large enterprises, where 41% of recruiters report feeling heavily, or very heavily, stressed. Automating manual recruitment Recruiters reveal they spend an average of 5.96 hours every week performing manual and administrative tasks. Recruiters in large companies spent the greatest amount of time doing manual tasks, spending an average of 11.78 hours every week on administrative tasks. More than half (56%) of recruiters spend between 1 to 5 hours weekly doing manual recruiting tasks. These findings come as IrishJobs research published earlier this year showed the growing impact of AI tools and technologies in automating recruitment. Recruiters using AI reported that reducing the time spent on manual and repetitive tasks was a key benefit of the technology, with sending candidates reminders (42%), tracking application status (42%), and scheduling job interviews (39%) some of the most common ways in which the technology is being used to automate the recruitment process. Growing AI adoption The IrishJobs Recruiter Snapshot survey shines a light on the positive potential of AI to support recruiters and alleviate some administrative burdens. More than 1 in 4 (28%) employers in Ireland have already introduced AI to their recruitment processes, according to IrishJobs research. Adoption is likely to accelerate further as more companies adopt clear guidelines on its usage and provide AI skilling initiatives to their workforce. Less than 1 in 4 firms (24%) have already established an organisation-wide AI policy, indicating the potential adoption of the technology to rapidly rise as more concrete workplace guidelines are established. Commenting on the research findings, Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group Ireland with responsibility for IrishJobs, said: "With unemployment set to remain close to historic lows and businesses across Ireland navigating an exceptionally tight labour market, the IrishJobs recruiter snapshot survey provides a timely insight into the challenges facing recruiters as they compete for talent. While it is widely recognised that job hunting can be a stressful experience for candidates, it's important to acknowledge that the process can also be pressurised for recruiters. Findings show that many recruiters are struggling with increased hiring demands and workloads as a result of this competitive market for talent. These pressures are having a significant impact on wellbeing and productivity across the recruitment landscape in Ireland. 1 in 3 recruiters report chronic levels of stress, which puts them at serious risk of burnout. It is important that employers create an ...

From Moldova to Tajikistan, from Belarus to Uzbekistan: The Formulation and Flow of National Identity from the Late Czarist Times to Today Riordan will explore the formulation of identity over the past 150 years in Moldova, Tajikistan, Belarus and Uzbekistan. Drawing on decades of on-the-ground work and research across all four countries, Riordan will discuss his findings on the trajectory of national identity and how it continues to shape the political discussion in each country today. About the Speaker: John P. Riordan is a career Foreign Service Officer in the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). He currently serves as the Deputy Mission Director at USAID/Moldova. Prior to Moldova, he was on assignment as a Development Advisor to U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in Tampa, Florida (2017-2020). Riordan was the USAID Country Director in Uzbekistan (2014-2017), where he served for multiple, extended periods of time as acting Deputy Chief of Mission. He was also USAID's Country Director in Belarus (2009-2013). In both Belarus and Uzbekistan, Riordan pioneered the leveraging of Baltic partner expertise and regional knowledge in order to advance shared objectives. He was recognized in 2017 with a Diploma of Commendation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia for his decade contribution to fostering a close relationship between Latvia and the United States and in jointly providing support for Belarus and Central Asian countries. Riordan was the USAID Development Adviser to the command group at Combined Joint Task Force 101 and 82 in Bagram, Afghanistan (2008-2009). Riordan served two assignments in Iraq (2006 and 2008, respectively) as the Deputy Director of USAID's Governance and Provincial Reconstruction Team Office during the U.S. Government “surge,” and then helped to launch the Joint Interagency Task Force at Multi-National Forces-Iraq. He also served at the Agency's mission in Romania (2005-2006). Riordan was honored to be the first Foreign Service Officer selected for an academic year in the Advanced Military Studies Program at the Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas (2007- 2008). While there, Riordan produced a monograph, Red D.I.M.E., which drew on original research on the Basmachi Resistance Movement against the fledgling Bolshevik forces of the Soviet Union in the Ferghana Valley region of Central Asia in order to apply historical and political lessons to irregular warfare in complex, adaptive environments. Before joining USAID, Riordan lived and worked in the Ferghana Valley region of Central Asia. He lectured at Ferghana State University and was the first American to conduct research in the Ferghana City archives as a Fulbright scholar in Uzbekistan. He also collected oral histories of Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Russian, and Tajik World War II veterans in order to better understand the formation of Soviet identity in Central Asia (2002-2003). He was also a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Ferghana Valley region of Kyrgyzstan (1998-2000), and worked as the Office Director of the State Department funded Freedom Support Act/Future Leader Exchange Program (FSA/FLEX) in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan (2000-2001). Riordan earned a master's in military arts and sciences from the School of Advanced Military Studies at the Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., and a master's in Russian, East European, and Central Asian studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was awarded a Foreign Language Area Scholarship while at Wisconsin for the study of the Uzbek language and spent three summers on scholarship at Indiana University studying Russian, Uzbek, and Turkmen. He completed his undergraduate degree in Political Science at Marquette University, where he was selected for an internship on Capitol Hill via Marquette's Les Aspin Center for Government.

Air New Zealand has again flown high in rankings of the best place to work.   The national carrier has scored first again in the Randstad annual Employer survey.  DOC, the New Zealand Customs Service, and consulting firms PWC and WSP rounded out the top five. Randstad Country Director Richard Kennedy says they've worked extremely hard in terms of making it a great place to work, providing things like a strong work-life balance, an attractive salary and benefits, good training, and also equity.  He says that equity has come to the forefront in this year's research, with 50% of people saying they wouldn't work for an organisation unless their values aligned, and they had equity at the forefront of their proposition.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new report released today by The Stepstone Group, a leading global jobs platform and parent company of IrishJobs, reveals that hybrid working is a key deal breaker for Irish jobseekers. Nearly half of jobseekers (47%) would refuse a job offer if there were no hybrid or fully remote working options offered, compared to a global average of 29%. The research also found that 61% of job seekers would turn down an otherwise attractive job offer from an employer if they received a negative impression during an interview. Published in partnership with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and The Network, a global alliance of more than 70 leading recruitment websites, the new report titled How Work Preferences Are Shifting in the Age of GenAI is based on survey data from more than 150,000 workforce respondents from 188 countries, including 1,746 respondents in Ireland, and is the fourth instalment in a series, the previous editions having been published in 2014, 2018, and 2021. Findings also highlight the growing importance of corporate environmental, social and governance policy for Irish jobseekers. Almost one in five (18%) of jobseekers would refuse a job offer from an employer that didn't have environmental or sustainability initiatives in place. 30% of jobseekers would not accept a job offer from an employer that didn't offer mental health or wellbeing benefits. A good work-life balance was the top job preference among Irish professionals, unchanged since the last report was published in 2021. Financial compensation, job security, and the amount of paid time off/holidays were the other most important work preferences in Ireland. Financial compensation has increased by six places since the last survey, indicating the impact of an increased cost of living on the workforce over the past number of years. Findings also reveal how work preferences change across different age groups. While a good work-life balance is the most important job element for professionals aged 21 and above, interesting job content is the top component for workers under the age of 21. Financial compensation is the second most important work preference for professionals aged 21-50. Good relationships with colleagues overtake monetary considerations as the second most important job preference among workers aged 51 and above. The research also revealed that when it comes to the balance of power in the employment markets, almost half of jobseekers (48%) believe they have at least some degree of choice in salary offers and can negotiate with employers. Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group Ireland, responsible for IrishJobs, says: "The Irish economy continues to expand, albeit at a more moderate pace, with the rate of unemployment remaining at a record low of 4%. Against this backdrop of near-full employment, there continues to be significant competition among employers to attract and retain skilled talent. "The insights from our latest Decoding Global Talent 2024 report, published today, provide an important insight for employers into the changing needs and preferences of professionals as they seek to meet their talent needs in this competitive environment. Amidst such a tight labour market it's crucial that employers regularly review and update their talent offerings to ensure they meet workers' expectations. Providing employees with a good work-life balance remains the most important job preferences for professionals and should not be underestimated by employers in their job offering - it has consistently ranked as the top job preferences in our research since 2018. "Our research also highlights the growing importance of hybrid and flexible working in the jobseeker agenda. With nearly half of job seekers willing to turn down opportunities that do not provide hybrid or fully remote working options, employers should ensure they're evolving their policies to address these needs and comply with new Government guidelines on the right to request remote work....
