Technologicaladvancements within the digital space have rendered big data as the pivotal element that will continueto transform how business is conducted in many industries, including government. Government datageneration and digital archiving rates are on the rise, as smart solutions are demanded to keep abreastwith the pace of change. The government market is at a tipping point, realizing that information isa strategic asset, and that governments need to protect, leverage, and analyse both structured andunstructured information to render a more vigilant decision-making process that enables effectivegovernance.As government leaders strive to evolve data-driven organizations to improve governance, they arelaying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information.This ultimately improves policy-making decisions. To date, numerous government bodies have realizedthe potential of the big data that rests in their possession. However, very few governments haveheeded to the potential that big data has to solving one of the key challenges; unemployment. Bigdata can be utilized to not only match future economic needs with the appropriate human capitalcaliber, it can also address pressing short-term needs, by bridging the gap between the employers andemployees and assist in job-matching. This paper hopes to present a plausible case for governmentsto embrace an initiative that digitises and utilises the big data reservoir at their disposal to match thegrowing needs of entrepreneurs with the existing and future workforce. Governments can capitalizeon our state of hyperconnectivity to facilitate and moderate a discussion among key stakeholders,which would inevitably bring down unemployment, upskill the existing workforce, and foster economicdevelopment.Introduction The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to enable mechanical production. TheSecond and Third introduced mass production and then the automation of this mass production,giving birth to commercialization. Now digitisation was dubbed the Fourth Industrial Revolution, atthe World Economic Forum this year, as its scale, scope, and complexity will continue to fundamentallyalter the way we operate and connect. The evolution of digitisation has been exponential, grandiose,and has affected every industry. Moreover, the depth of the change heralds the transformation ofproduction, management, and governance.The digitisation revolution has the potential to raise global income levels and improve the qualityof life for populations around the world, similar to those that preceded it. To date, the primarybeneficiaries have been those that either have the skill set to invent and produce these technologiesor those that have the financial means to afford access to the digital world. Ordering a cab, booking aflight, buying a product, making a payment, listening to music, watching a film, or playing a game—anyof these can now be done remotely. In the future, technological innovation will also lead to a supply-side miracle, with long-term gains in efficiency and productivity. Transportation and communicationcosts will drop, logistics and global supply chains will become more effective, and the cost of trade willdiminish, all of which will open new markets and drive economic growth.The Digitisation RevolutionSteam EngineMechanical ProductionElectricityMass ProductionCommercializationComputer - ITAutomated Produc
