Few South Africans in work




This graph shows the unemployment rate in South Africa from the 2000 up until 2006   

 

The unemployment rate of black South Africans alone has increase from 13% in the 1990s to 25% in the late 2000. South Africa is consider one of the highest countries with unemployment rate. In a situation like this, where do we start in solving such a problem? Yes we have many people with tertiary qualifications but is this enough?More and more young people graduate from universities but it is very difficult for them to find jobs because experience is always required.

The problem lies within our Education system. They should make sure that programmes like NYDA and Setas are available through out the country to help develop their skills. These programmes should assist every South African to ensure that they get a job. By doing this it will help them to have more experience and also help them in developing their skills in various sectors.

We can sit and and complain but one has  to take charge of their lives. Education can be where we start and government should also create more skill developing programmes like NYDA and Sites. This will encourage more young people to get educated or to go to schools because they will be reassured that once they complete school a job will be waiting for them.It is really discouraging to go tertiary and not get a job once you are done. If we can achieve this goal as a country, one can imagine where we would be in 2030.May be than South Africa will be amongst the richest countries in the world. Read more...
