The State Of Youth Unemployment In South Africa Over The Years

By Lelia Hall


Since 2008 after the economic crunch the world has been facing one of the greatest challenges of ensuring their younger population can fend for themselves and put food on the table without depending on the government. But since then the situation went worse but there are gradual changes of late though the numbers are on a steady rise. However, youth unemployment in South Africa has been at its all time low of the African States.

Statistics shows that the young people are making over one-quarter of the entire world working population. The number is even bigger when we look at the ones who are unemployed. When we talk about the youth, we are talking about anybody who is between the age of 18 and 28 years according to United Nations.

The United Nations also put it that the unemployed are those who are willing to work, but there are no jobs for them to do some search. Since the economic meltdown more and more people are getting jobs because the economy of South Africa is fast growing. It is also because the government has also been putting effort in ensuring that their youngest and strongest population has something to do.

The government statistic shows that the rate of unemployment in South Africa has reduced since the economy recovered from 2008. The statistics put the estimates at three percent that is fair compared to what other developing nations' record. It is, for this reason that youth in South Africa should not worry because the country is doing better though much effort should be put to it reducing it even further.

Before we look at the number of individuals that lack jobs, let us see the factors that hinder job distribution in South Africa. Citizens must start investing in proper education, and the government must do their part in terms of infrastructure and policy. People are becoming more educated and taking up courses that spur the countries growth and development. However, the number should be higher to meet the current demands of the country's market.

The university should make their courses relevant with what the market needs if they want their students to be marketable by the sustained growth in the South Africa. Some of the problems that youth face in the job market is also attributed to the over dependence on white collar jobs. Most of developed countries grew their economies from blue collar jobs that spurred the growth. This age group must demonstrate the willingness to put their creativity to use.

Sometimes it takes trying to offer solutions to problems in the world to come up with great start-ups that would provide jobs to other people. It is for this reason that universities and colleges must aim at releasing the full potential of their students by allowing them to innovative. Your dream job is always in your mind, and if you put it in action you can be one of the most successful people in the world.

Finally, the Southern African young people must be ready to face the world by taking internship programs that will keep them busy and hence they will avoid the problems that come with a lack of employment. They must use their talents if they want to develop and be part of the country building.
