In response to the high and growing rate of youth unemployment in South Africa, the DBSA initiated a project in September 2010 to develop a high-level youth employment strategy. The purpose of the study was to review current government programmes for promoting youth employment, in order to identify programmatic measures that will absorb a far greater number of young people into the labour market and allow them to engage in more income-generating activities than is currently the case.
