Youth in the South African labour market – the first 25 years since the economic transition

Magister Commercii - MCom / The South African economy is confronted with various socio-economic problems. In particular,
the persistently high and rising unemployment rate (especially for the youth), which has always
been one of them. Unemployment has been generally classified as structural because of the
mismatch between skills that the jobseekers are willing to supply and skills that are actually
demanded by employers for vacancies that are available. Youths are less likely to find
employment and the employed youths are more likely to be retrenched during recessions due
to their lack of experience.
