South Africa’s Youth Unemployment Rate has observed an increasing trend since the year 2008. During the year 2015, Youth Unemployment reached a staggering 63.1% rating where 1 out of 4 youths are still unemployed. Two main reasons for this are:

a. Low pay on agricultural sector or informal job settings – which demotivates the youth

b. Government is not paying attention in increasing more formal jobs available for the youth
