SA YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT 3
RD
HIGHEST IN THE WORLD
South Africa has the third highest unemployment rate in the world for people between the ages of 15
to 24, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF) global Risk 2014 report.
The report estimates that more than 50% of young South Africans between 15 and 24 are
unemployed. Only Greece and Spain have higher unemployment in this age range than SA, the report
states. It goes on to further state that, “The generation coming of age in the 2010’s faces high
unemployment and precarious job situations, hampering their efforts to build a future and raising the
risk of social unrest”.
In developing countries, an estimated two-thirds of the youth are not fulfilling their economic potential.
“While in the emerging markets there are more jobs to be had, the workforce does not yet possess
the broad based skill-set necessary to satisfy demand, explained David Cole, group chief risk officer
of Swiss Re.
“It’s vital we sit down with young people now and begin planning solutions aimed at creating
fit-for-purpose educational systems, functional job-markets, efficient skills exchanges and the
sustainable future we all depend on.”
And further to the above …
Press releases:
GORDHAN: YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT FAR TOO HIGH 24 OCT 2014 16:20 SAPA
Cape Town – The employment tax incentive bill is a step towards reversing alarmingly high levels of
youth unemployment, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said on Thursday.
Tabling the legislation in the National Assembly, along with three other money bills, he warned that
South Africa had “some of the highest rates of unemployment in the world.
“The incidence of unemployment is highest among young people. This means [they] are denied the
opportunity to gain skills and experience that will enable them to build future careers. “About 94% of
unemployed young people do not have further or tertiary education, and about 80% had never
worked, or had been employed for longer than a year.
POSTED IN THE NUMSA BULLETIN 5 MARCH 2014
South African’s youth unemployment crises rate is amongst the highest in the world.
Therefore one of the greatest socio-economic problems currently facing South Africa is youth
unemployment. According to the Quarter Labour Force Survey by Statistics South African, in the third
quarter of 2013, 34.8% of young South Africans could not find a job compared with less than 15% of
adults over 34. If one breaks down the youth unemployment figures by race, the picture becomes
gloomier for African and Coloured youth. In 2010, African youth unemployment hit 58%, Coloured
youth unemployment 45% while Indian and White youth unemployment were at 22% and 18%
respectively. However, these figures do not correctly reflect the seriousness of the youth
Page 5 of 10
unemployment problem because it excludes young people that have not been looking for
employment.
If all young people are considered in calculation of youth unemployment then the actual youth
unemployment rate was 47.5% for the third quarter of 2013. This means that 1 in every 2 youth
people cannot find a job and has very little chance of ever finding a job. South Africa’s unacceptably
high youth unemployment figures are a ticking time bomb that pose a threat to the country’s political
stability. Recent events in North Africa and some Euro countries show the importance of creating job
opportunities for young people and need for inclusive growth in South Africa.
With further investigation of the crisis we un-cover the following alarming facts:
Matric Results 2013: 439,579 matriculants passed the National Senior Certificate exam. Lack of work
experience is a constraint that hampers employment prospects for many leaners.
Government Initiatives: A R9 billion Fund was announced by President Jacob Zuma in 2011 with
the aim of finding innovative solutions to South African’s employment problem. To date, the Fund has
approved grant funding of more than R3.4 billion, of which more than R1.2 billion has been allocated.
Private Sector Initiatives: (Partnerships) Johannesburg, 6 June 2013 – Microsoft South Africa
kicked off partnership with Government’s Jobs Fund that will train more than 3000 unemployed
graduates to get Permanent jobs in the technology sector in next three years
However…
South Africa has an acute problem of youth unemployment that requires a multi-pronqed strategy to
raise employment and supported inclusion and social cohesion. High youth unemployment means
young people are not acquiring the skills or experience needed to drive the economy forward. This
inhibits the country’s economic development and imposes a large burden on the state to provide
social assistance.
So just what is the solution?
We cannot rely on government alone to establish plans and projects to increase Youth employment
and also to provide increased up-skilling of these same youth. As private business we need to make a
firm commitment to assist and thereby work together with government to solve our current and future
crisis.

THE EMPOWERMENT SOLUTION
Our aim is to create various Call Centre incubators that facilitate the training and development of
agents for the Contact Centre Industry. Our Call Centre Incubator allows us to give that vast amount
of inexperienced youth in our communities an opportunity to not only to receive free training and on
the floor experience, but an opportunity to be placed in a long-term position with our partners and
clients thereafter.
We formulate our approach to working with clients on the basis of a collaborative partnership with
common goal of attaining the client’s objectives while ensuring that they also form part of the greater
initiative of job creation and people empowerment.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR OUR PARTNERS?
 We pay personal attention to our partners specific needs and can tailor make the right
solutions based on our clients strategy and budget constraints
 We can provide a continuous flow of corporate-trained call centre agents at a fraction of the
normal out-sourced costs
 Our aim is not just to increase partner profits or improve their staff calibre, but to change lives
thus we both achieve a “Win–Win” situation
 Our management team boasts a vast amount of experience in the industry
 We can assist in the increase of Brand Awareness for our partners via the empowerment
initiative model
OUR COMPANY COMMITMENT
We commit to always placing our clients, our partners and our communities at the forefront of our
entire decision making process and ultimately the actions that we employ before, during and after our
process.
Our actions and decisions are all geared towards:
 Job creation
 Community Empowerment
 Financial sustainability of the projects
OUR APPROACH
We provide sales and customer care training as part of the interview process. All applicants have to
attend a two day assessment course. Thereafter, they move on to a 1 month training and assessment
program. If the candidate scores high levels in this program, they are then offered a salaried position
in the project.
The alternative achievement of this system is that we have a data base of pre-trained agents that
could be employed as needed based on our expansion phases. The applicants in-waiting are also
further encouraged to use their newly acquired skills to seek alternative employment in the interim or
on a long-term basis via our business partners.
We also encourage our trainees and staff to participate in community based initiatives in order to
increase their social responsibility awareness.

  • 4. Page 4 of 10 SA YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT 3 RD HIGHEST IN THE WORLD South Africa has the third highest unemployment rate in the world for people between the ages of 15 to 24, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF) global Risk 2014 report. The report estimates that more than 50% of young South Africans between 15 and 24 are unemployed. Only Greece and Spain have higher unemployment in this age range than SA, the report states. It goes on to further state that, “The generation coming of age in the 2010’s faces high unemployment and precarious job situations, hampering their efforts to build a future and raising the risk of social unrest”. In developing countries, an estimated two-thirds of the youth are not fulfilling their economic potential. “While in the emerging markets there are more jobs to be had, the workforce does not yet possess the broad based skill-set necessary to satisfy demand, explained David Cole, group chief risk officer of Swiss Re. “It’s vital we sit down with young people now and begin planning solutions aimed at creating fit-for-purpose educational systems, functional job-markets, efficient skills exchanges and the sustainable future we all depend on.” And further to the above … Press releases: GORDHAN: YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT FAR TOO HIGH 24 OCT 2014 16:20 SAPA Cape Town – The employment tax incentive bill is a step towards reversing alarmingly high levels of youth unemployment, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said on Thursday. Tabling the legislation in the National Assembly, along with three other money bills, he warned that South Africa had “some of the highest rates of unemployment in the world. “The incidence of unemployment is highest among young people. This means [they] are denied the opportunity to gain skills and experience that will enable them to build future careers. “About 94% of unemployed young people do not have further or tertiary education, and about 80% had never worked, or had been employed for longer than a year. POSTED IN THE NUMSA BULLETIN 5 MARCH 2014 South African’s youth unemployment crises rate is amongst the highest in the world. Therefore one of the greatest socio-economic problems currently facing South Africa is youth unemployment. According to the Quarter Labour Force Survey by Statistics South African, in the third quarter of 2013, 34.8% of young South Africans could not find a job compared with less than 15% of adults over 34. If one breaks down the youth unemployment figures by race, the picture becomes gloomier for African and Coloured youth. In 2010, African youth unemployment hit 58%, Coloured youth unemployment 45% while Indian and White youth unemployment were at 22% and 18% respectively. However, these figures do not correctly reflect the seriousness of the youth
  • 5. Page 5 of 10 unemployment problem because it excludes young people that have not been looking for employment. If all young people are considered in calculation of youth unemployment then the actual youth unemployment rate was 47.5% for the third quarter of 2013. This means that 1 in every 2 youth people cannot find a job and has very little chance of ever finding a job. South Africa’s unacceptably high youth unemployment figures are a ticking time bomb that pose a threat to the country’s political stability. Recent events in North Africa and some Euro countries show the importance of creating job opportunities for young people and need for inclusive growth in South Africa. With further investigation of the crisis we un-cover the following alarming facts: Matric Results 2013: 439,579 matriculants passed the National Senior Certificate exam. Lack of work experience is a constraint that hampers employment prospects for many leaners. Government Initiatives: A R9 billion Fund was announced by President Jacob Zuma in 2011 with the aim of finding innovative solutions to South African’s employment problem. To date, the Fund has approved grant funding of more than R3.4 billion, of which more than R1.2 billion has been allocated. Private Sector Initiatives: (Partnerships) Johannesburg, 6 June 2013 – Microsoft South Africa kicked off partnership with Government’s Jobs Fund that will train more than 3000 unemployed graduates to get Permanent jobs in the technology sector in next three years However… South Africa has an acute problem of youth unemployment that requires a multi-pronqed strategy to raise employment and supported inclusion and social cohesion. High youth unemployment means young people are not acquiring the skills or experience needed to drive the economy forward. This inhibits the country’s economic development and imposes a large burden on the state to provide social assistance. So just what is the solution? We cannot rely on government alone to establish plans and projects to increase Youth employment and also to provide increased up-skilling of these same youth. As private business we need to make a firm commitment to assist and thereby work together with government to solve our current and future crisis.
  • 6. Page 6 of 10 THE EMPOWERMENT SOLUTION Our aim is to create various Call Centre incubators that facilitate the training and development of agents for the Contact Centre Industry. Our Call Centre Incubator allows us to give that vast amount of inexperienced youth in our communities an opportunity to not only to receive free training and on the floor experience, but an opportunity to be placed in a long-term position with our partners and clients thereafter. We formulate our approach to working with clients on the basis of a collaborative partnership with common goal of attaining the client’s objectives while ensuring that they also form part of the greater initiative of job creation and people empowerment. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR OUR PARTNERS?  We pay personal attention to our partners specific needs and can tailor make the right solutions based on our clients strategy and budget constraints  We can provide a continuous flow of corporate-trained call centre agents at a fraction of the normal out-sourced costs  Our aim is not just to increase partner profits or improve their staff calibre, but to change lives thus we both achieve a “Win–Win” situation  Our management team boasts a vast amount of experience in the industry  We can assist in the increase of Brand Awareness for our partners via the empowerment initiative model OUR COMPANY COMMITMENT We commit to always placing our clients, our partners and our communities at the forefront of our entire decision making process and ultimately the actions that we employ before, during and after our process. Our actions and decisions are all geared towards:  Job creation  Community Empowerment  Financial sustainability of the projects OUR APPROACH We provide sales and customer care training as part of the interview process. All applicants have to attend a two day assessment course. Thereafter, they move on to a 1 month training and assessment program. If the candidate scores high levels in this program, they are then offered a salaried position in the project. The alternative achievement of this system is that we have a data base of pre-trained agents that could be employed as needed based on our expansion phases. The applicants in-waiting are also further encouraged to use their newly acquired skills to seek alternative employment in the interim or on a long-term basis via our business partners. We also encourage our trainees and staff to participate in community based initiatives in order to increase their social responsibility awareness.
