Almost half of South Africa’s unemployed youth don’t have a matric.
New data from Stats SA shows that unemployment is rising among all levels of education in South Africa, but those with a tertiary qualification still have the best chance of finding a job.
Because the report only covers 2016 to 2021, it does not depict the changes and post-Covid recoveries seen in 2022. While South Africa lost 1 million jobs between 2016 and 2021, by the end of Q4 2022, this has climbed to a net gain of 154,000 jobs. However, the reality is that the adult working population increased by 3.8 million people over the same period .
Unemployment increased progressively with lower education levels, however. Simply put, those who have obtained a higher level of education have lower unemployment rates.
