Why is unemployment rate so high in South Africa

Sustained economic disruption from Cóvid-19, austerity measures, persistent inequality, and poor government policies have all been cited as contributors to the weak numbers.

Hence, these factors lead to high rates of unemployment in South Africa.

Black African women are the most effected, with an unemployment rate of 41%, the agency reports. Young people aged 15-24, and 25-34, recorded the highest unemployment rates of 64.4% and 42.9% respectively, according to the data from StatsSA.
