According to Bloomberg data, these statistics place South Africa’s unemployment rate as “the worst in the world” coming highest on the global list of 82 countries monitored by the agency

This is according to analysts who on Tuesday said government must change the rules and regulations that shape the way the country’s economy functions so that it grows much faster and creates jobs far more rapidly. These sentiments come after the release of the latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey by Statistics SA on Tuesday.

Raymond Parsons, the North West University Business School economics professor, said the record second quarter unemployment rate confirms the destructive impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the lockdown as well as the impact of civil unrest on jobs. Matthew Kofi Ocran, the University of the Western Cape economics professor, said while minimum wage legislation is important to safeguard the interests of workers, it needs to be crafted in a way that provides exemptions for labour-intensive industries.

Bernstein said South Africa’s unemployment has worsened as the economy has steadily deteriorated and that the country was in trouble before Covid-19. .
