Youth employmentstrategiestake up a prominent role in poverty alleviation and social justice policies in South Africa. There is much recognition that the wrongs of a racially discriminatory past continue to skew opportunities and outcomes on the labour market away from particularly African, female, and poor youth (Bhorat et al. 2016; De Lannoy et al. 2018a). Policy and practise since the country’s democratisation have supported youth in many areas yet had their own shortcomings (Graham et al. 2019). They have been compounded by structural changes in the labour market reflecting shifts in the local and international economies (Seekings and Nattrass 2016). None of these developments have made the world of work more inclusive for its youth.
