The unemployment rate in South Africa increased to 27.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2017 from 26.5 per cent in the previous three months. The unemployment rate is a measure of the number of people who are unemployed and actively looking for work, as a percentage of the labour force.
The unemployment rate is an important indicator to measure economic health, and government agencies use it to determine economic policies.

Are young people in South Africa disadvantaged in the labour market?
A labour market is a place where people can find jobs and get paid for the work they do. The labour market in South Africa is not fair, as young people are disadvantaged in the labour market. In this section, we will look at how the labour market in South Africa affects young people and why it is not fair.
In order to understand what it means to be disadvantaged in the South African labour market, we need to look at two main factors:
– The number of jobs available for young people
– The quality of those jobs
The number of jobs available for young people has decreased over time because there are many more unemployed people than employed ones. This means that there are fewer opportunities for those who want to find a job. Young people don’t have many options when they want to find a job as they don’t have any experience, which makes them less desirable candidates than older applicants.
