360 Biz recently looked at the national unemployment rate of over 25% and what this means for the country and its economic prospects. Of great concern is that over 60% of the national 25% unemployment rate is made up of the youth. The team drills down to the issue of youth unemployment, the factors driving this, what’s currently being done and what can still be done to address this crisis. Joining Teboho for the conversation is Thapelo Maleke, President of the Youth Chamber of Commerce and Industry South Africa, as well as Xolani Qubeka from the Small Business Development Institute.
