Youth unemployment is emerging as the biggest threat to the future stability of South Africa. For many aged between 15 and 34, the prospect of securing permanent employment is dim and getting dimmer. Our young citizens are being let down not only by an economy that is shedding jobs consistently, but also by an education system that is failing to equip them for the rigours of a changing labour market. Sadly, there are few, if any, signals that government has the will and the remedies to decisively address these chronic demand- and supply-side weaknesses.
