Episode Details

South Africa’s bold youth employment push is paying off—with nearly three million young people now earning since 2020. Through initiatives like the SA Youth platform and YES, over 2.5 million temporary gigs have launched, plus hundreds of thousands more via Employment Services. Recent quarters saw 155,000 new jobs created, while programs like the Jobs Boost Fund delivered real, lasting employment—especially in rural areas like KwaZulu-Natal. With millions registered and placements doubling, the government’s focus remains on quality opportunities and community service, aiming to recruit another 100,000 youth next quarter to tackle unemployment head-on.
