SA youth demand stronger action on unemployment

Young people are calling for stronger government action on unemployment. According to Statistics South Africa 43.7 percent of young people aged 15 to 34 were unemployed in the third quarter of 2025, rising to 58.5 percent among those aged 15 to 24. Millions of young people are not in employment, education, or training, putting the country at risk of a lost generation. Short-term initiatives have helped some, but experts say more sustainable programmes are needed to match young people's skills with real job opportunities. With the 2026 State Of the Nation Address on the horizon, attention is turning to how government plans to tackle this persistent crisis.
