A fast growing economy that creates jobs will not automatically reduce youth unemployment due to systemic barriers faced by young people.

The state, civil society, and the private sector have all been trying to address the issue through various

Our findings show that programmes that offer matching have the biggest impact on employment success. Matching is when young people are trained based on employer requirements and where programmes enable an interface between employers and young work seekers to foster potential recruitment.

Nonetheless, despite participating in the programme, the majority of young people in the survey remained unemployed, with 40% of participants experiencing chronic unemployment two years after completing the programme.We found matching to be the most persuasive programme feature.

We also found that more time on general workplace and social skills improves the chances of finding a job. These skills, including time management, teamwork, and self-confidence, were most useful for those without a matric, those living outside a major metro, and those who were not part of a youth employability programme that focused on matching. This kind of training was also positively associated with young people being persistent in looking for jobs.

Create your own job. Be a productive citizen not a consuming-haul. Capitalism is now knocking hard.

This Experience thing to be waived

All school kids should be given aptitude tests. More tertiary institutions, technical training centres, should be built in all areas. Let's have less lekgotlas and less talking and more doing.

Capitalism? Big business? Entrepreneurship? Less obsession with ideological nonsense?

Entrepeneurship is a baseless answer. It is not for everyone and some people like myself simply make better employees than owners. If the graduates are unable to find work after university then perhaps the degrees are not market relevant? Maybe universities are not future proof?

Nothing unless you start your own business coz these companies wants 5 yrs experience when when you fresh from varsity.

A functioning economy...

Abolishing BEE, its discrimination, and racist.

Anyway regime must employ youth as public servants in order to alleviate disservice to the masses of Azania. EFF is correct.

karimabrown, eff is correct to say regime must create jobs. It is the regime's responsibility to make conditions conducive for investors to pump in money into the country. Wena, KARIMA u misunderstand this position and this that eff is saying LITERAL CREATION OF JOBS BY REGIME.

Do away with BEE thing and support small businesses,bring manufacturing facilities to live,support agriculture

south africa need jobs

I think the government must start up new business which will create jobs for youth. Empower youth to start new business because not all of the youth are born to work for someone so the must give as funds to startup business

Set economy free. Get unions and government out of running businesses. Invests in quality education that the economy needs! We have enough political science graduates in parliament. Teach parliament about economics!

Entrepreneurship is the way to go. We must do it ourselves, create our own jobs. The time is now ..

Making jobs available, I suppose?

There has to be jobs to be found

Their mindsets! Many young people don’t want to work their way up the ladder. They want to walk straight into the corner office demanding top dollar. They have little regard for authority, company policies and procedures and people with experience. They think they know it all.

We need dedicated leadership not dreamers and cha-cha-cha dancers around challenges

'When people shall have nothing to eat,they will eat the rich'

A complete overhaul of this useless Stellenbosch 'owned' government.

Entrepreneurship. If you can't find a job MAKE a job.

The scrapping of blatant racism, like BEE

why put a white person holding that card?

Difficulty

🍑last hope.

They must do courses that will empower them to work for themselves, not wait to be employed. Even those that are employed, some have extra sources of income.

Jobs. Duh.
