	<span style="line-height:1.5;">An enormous amount of
literature has emerged over the last few years in the context of the ¡°human
capital management¡±, ¡°Future of Work¡±
and on ¡°Zambian Case: Job creation and unemployment¡±. The existing literature
on the human capital management, the future of work and the Zambian case on job
creation and unemployment, covers a wide range of topics. Investment in the human
capital enhances performance, employee engagement, innovation and labor
productivity. However, it has been observed that the future of work; technology
advancement, automation in the transportation and agriculture sector might
disrupt economic and social activities in developing countries including Zambia
by the year 2026. Nevertheless, despite this wealth of existing studies, some important gaps remain, which should be addressed in future research: 1) Reduction on poverty levels, little is known about
the margin by which poverty levels both in rural and urban areas will be
reduced by 2021 considering that technological advancements and automation are
expected to alter the way of doing business in service sector: transport Sector
and manufacturing sector and
also the agriculture sector by 2026. 2) Development strategies on human capital development to address
the challenges associated with low
labor productivity and how technological advancements, automation in the
service sector (transportation), manufacturing sector and agriculture sector
will sustain jobs that Zambian Government will have created for the locals by
the year 2026. 3) Development strategies on human capital development which will</span><span style="line-height:1.5;"> ensure that most workers which enter the labor force after dropping out of school,
attain basic numeracy, ICT and literacy skills by 2026. 4) Exploring
measures to address wage inequality issues in view of off loading robots and use of articial intelligences
on the Zambian market which could have potential to widen the gap between
highly skilled expatriates and local Zambians.</span>
