Austerity measures are not new to South Africa, as they have been implemented over the last decade. However, South Africa is not yet closer to achieving fiscal consolidation, largely due to weak economic activity over a sustained period.

Having majored in Economics and never had the chance to work in the field, it was great to engage other economists on this matter. Unemployment, particularly Youth Unemployment, is a challenge we wrestle with every day as a business, country and continent.

Some of the challenges South Africa faces include;
• Broken public education system
• Lack of career information for rural pupils
•Unnecessary job filters that exclude certain professions
• Dysfunction in monitoring and evaluation
• No departmental and policy coordination

Our first #ThinkPod in Johannesburg was a great success! We discussed the challenges that South Africa faces in creating employment. Due to the broad nature of the conversation, we are planning a follow-up session. Stay tuned for more updates thinkglobal365.org
