Youth unemployment study: What they feel and think.

Youth unemployment is one of the major challenges in South Africa. The study estimates that about 3 million or 35% of the youth (18-34, narrow definition) are unemployed.  The report uncovers some critical issues that organised business, labour and government should focus on for example obstacles unemployed experience, feelings and perceptions of not having a job, attitude towards decent jobs and  what kind of  jobs are needed to gain experience. The study also segments the unemployed market to better understand ways to communicate and support them. For a summary, findings and a press release click here.
