Tackling youth unemployment in SA
--:--
South Africa's unemployment rate fell slightly in the fourth quarter and declined to 32.7% from 32.9% previously, supported by gains in the finance sector, along with private households. The level of youth unemployment, which is sitting it at just over 43%, remains a concern, as that age group accounts for over half of South Africa's employable population. Business Day TV discussed initiatives underway to tackle youth unemployment with the COO of the Youth Unemployment Service, Leanne Emery Hunter.
