South Africa's total unemployment rate is at 25% but this number is a lot higher in the younger population - as high as 63%!

The contributory factors are:
-lack of proper education and lack of highly skilled workers means that there is a surplus of unskilled workers
-influences of apartheid (this contributes to the low level of education among others)
- slow economic growth
