Question

Discuss Two social factors that may contribute to unemployment in South Africa amongst the youth?​

Answer 1

Some of the social factors that have led to unemployment in South Africa amongst the youth are:

• High population growth.
• High poverty rates.

As a result of high population growth, the number of youth in South Africa  has increased to a point where getting jobs for all of them is quite difficult.

High poverty rates also mean that a lot of the youth are unable to afford a tertiary education which means that they are unable to get the qualifications needed for a job.

Answer 2

Unemployed youth are characterized by their lack of employability resulting from a range of socio-economic factors. They often have low levels of education, have dropped out of school and invariably do not have the literacy, numeracy and communication skills needed in the labor market.
