Abstract

This book provides a reference resource to showcase insightful perspectives on the 21st-century realities of the service sector and its implications on economic development in Africa. It helps to dispel misunderstood facts about Africa’s development and clearly show both the distinct path followed by African economies as well as their differences with regard to the services sector. It uncovers the types of trajectories that the services sector development is exhibiting in Africa and how these different trajectories are associated with different patterns of economic outcome across the continent.
