Employment and Entrepreneurship

Overview

Youth in South Africa face stagnant employment prospects despite higher education levels than their parents.

Limited career guidance and professional networks prevents the share of information concerning education and work opportunities, particularly due to monthly work-search costs and household income disparities.

The industry’s risk aversion hinders the recruitment of entry-level youth without prior experience, favouring tertiary graduates.

Financial insecurity from employment prospects, combined with limited networks for mentorship and support, prevents youth risk-taking and the establishment of youth-owned businesses.
