The problem of youth unemployment is a common one in the world. The challenge is worse for the developing countries because the population growth is not commensurate with the development. However, in this article we will compare how the youth unemployment in South Africa is performing against other nations.
Statistics shows that the young people are making over one-quarter of the entire world working population. The number is even bigger when we look at the ones who are unemployed. When we talk about the youth, we are talking about anybody who is between the age of 18 and 28 years according to United Nations.
A person who is not having a job and is seeking some work to do is categorized as an employed. For someone to categorize as jobless, they must be willing to work but has not found a place to work. Over the years, the rate of joblessness among the twenty-year-old has been growing in South Africa. But the government recently is trying to put up measures to make sure this population of the country gets something to do.
The statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that the jobless rate has reduced by over three percent. It is one of the biggest drops since the economic meltdown that left many people unemployed. The young people in South Africa should not worry about the trends. It is because the trends show that the percentage is lower in other parts of the world, and South Africa is performing better.
Some of the factors that affect the development of a country and its ability to give its citizens jobs include education, skills, infrastructure, and government policy. The levels of education is growing and the number of people who are taking up courses that drive the economy is at his all time high. However, the numbers should even be higher to match the relevant skills in the market.
The university should make their courses relevant with what the market needs if they want their students to be marketable by the sustained growth in the South Africa. Some of the problems that youth face in the job market is also attributed to the over dependence on white collar jobs. Most of developed countries grew their economies from blue collar jobs that spurred the growth. This age group must demonstrate the willingness to put their creativity to use.
Most of the times, we ignore the fact that if we try to offer solutions to the problems we face in the society, it offers a perfect chance to develop a new start up company. Universities and colleges can also play their role in ensuring that their students get the best at school. In this way, they will quickly realize their full potential and be the next movers and shakers in South Africa. Everyone should know the best opportunity for you to be successful is to use your mind.
In conclusion, South Africa should expose their young people to internship programs if they want the number of youths who are jobless to reduce. They should also tap into their talent because different talents spur economic growth.
