South Africa’s unemployment rate hit a new record high of 34.9% in the third quarter of 2021, pushing unemployment beyond crisis level, says Kau Makgosa project facilitator at Economic Development Solutions.

South Africa’s unemployment rate hit a new record high of 34.9% in the third quarter of 2021

To combat the high unemployment rate, it will be necessary to re-introduce blue-collar skills and training development, said Makgosa. This can help the youth to acquire skills that will make them useful to employers while helping South Africa to recover economically. “Skills and training development of blue-collar workers to meet such needs would be an effective way to address the high unemployment rate without job creation. Such jobs don’t need to be created – they already exist – we just need to ensure that we have the skills available locally.”

“Instead, there are many more opportunities for individuals to explore their own potential through gainful employment in skilled fields such as construction, renewable energy, manufacturing and mining, to name a few,” said Makgosa.
