In their latest research report, Youth Capital looked at the cost of job-seeking on young people. Youth Capital is a youth-led campaign with an Action Plan to shift gears on youth unemployment. The organisation partnered with research hub Open Dialogue on the research. The focus of the report was on the impact of the lockdown on young people’s ability to look for work. The report was launched on May 5.
The costs involved in looking for a job leave many of South Africa’s unemployed young people demotivated and desperate. Of the 2,200 young people surveyed for Youth Capital’s recently released report on these costs, 84% said they have to choose between looking for work and buying food.
Youth Capital will launch a report on the cost of looking for work as a young person; the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Institute for Security Studies will host a seminar on police reform; and Open Secrets will unpack Part Four of the State Capture report on its Twitter space. Youth Capital w.
