[File Image] Job seekers stand in a line hoping to be picked for employment.with young people between the ages of 15 and 24 accounting for 66.5% of the unemployed in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Former Statistician-General Padi Lehohla maintains that access to quality education is the only answer for dealing with the high youth unemployment.Research by Statistics South Africa shows that a growing number of young people have been discouraged with the labour market and are also not building on their skills base through education and training.for the first quarter of 2022 on Tuesday, Lehohla says government’s youth employment programmes are not enough to adequately deal with the problem.
“A million less among the 15 – 24 were employed in 2020 compared to 2008. Five hundred thousand less were employed in the 25 – 34 level in 2020 compared to 2008. Now tell me whether there is a youth program which actually supports this? The story is very disturbing, yet the President [Cyril Ramaphosa] says we have employed so many among the youth.
“The figures don’t support that, who gives the President the numbers. The Statistician-General presents the numbers, who are the bureaucrats who then advices the President on this for him to make this kind of statement,” asks Lehohla.
At that time society has all these negative views on the unemployed youth, putting them under constant straineous pressure. What a time to be alive 🙁
Dont fear, BBBEEE will definitely fix this. Ask CyrilRamaphosa.
Government must consider bringing retirement age to 55 without the retiree getting penalised for taking early retirement.
