Abstract
The uncertainties around the future of work has engendered and continue to provoke stimulating discussions amongst scholars interested in the dynamics of the world of work, and other allied researchers. While the construction of these uncertainties is not far-fetched, scholars have somewhat reached a consensus, that the emergence of globalization spanning over four decades ago, has further exacerbated the magnitude of these uncertainties. To be sure, the apologists of globalization have argued that the emergence of globalization, rather than prospering the future of work, has provoked several threats to the continued relevance of work, rather than progression.
