South Africa’s Youth Unemployment Rate has
observed an increasing trend since the year 2008. During the year 2015, Youth
Unemployment reached a staggering 63.1% rating where 1 out of 4 youths are
still unemployed. Two main reasons for this are:
a. Low pay on agricultural sector or informal job
settings – which demotivates the youth
b. Government is not paying attention in
increasing more formal jobs available for the youth
