Developing a Youth Labour Market Index for SouthAfrica at the sub-national level

Report

June 14th, 2024

Ariane De Lannoy

Labour markets often perpetuate existing inequalities, further marginalising indivi- duals and groups based on factors such as gender, race, socioeconomic status, and educational background (Kabeer, 2012; Häusermann and Schwander, 2012; Rubery and Piasna, 2017; Gerber, 2022). The South African labour market is characterised by high levels of unemployment, precarious job security, and a significant wage disparity that disproportionately affects marginalized groups such as women, people of colour and young people (National Economic Development and Labour Council, 2023; Francis, Valodia and Webster, 2020; Mhlana, 2023; Jain et al., 2020; Inclusive Society Institute, 2023).
