Pandering to employment stats isn’ t the solution

SOUTH AFRICA HAS AN EMPLOYMENT CRISIS, BUT SOLVING IT ISN’ T AS SIMPLE AS BOOSTING JOB NUMBERS FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES. WHILE REDUCING UNEMPLOYMENT IS ESSENTIAL, WE RISK MISSING THE BIGGER PICTURE. THE FOCUS MUST SHIFT FROM STATISTICS TO STRATEGIES THAT CREATE AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ENTREPRENEURS AND WORKFORCES OF THE FUTURE, OFFERING SUSTAINABLE JOBS THAT BOOST THE SOUTH AFRICAN ECONOMY.
