Abstract

An economic development needs to know whether there is concrete implication of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) on participation of gender, as this has been a key concern in many countries. The paper established implications of 4IR using descriptive techniques and sample T-test. The review concludes that implication of 4IR to gender participation in Tanzania is that women participated more than men in agricultural production and unpaid domestic activities. Inversely, men participated more on productive works than women while gender balance exists in professional and skilled works. The review further notes that the influencing factor on GP is level of education associated with skill and profession. Then to balance GP, the review recommends increasing education to women and gender sensitivity.
