Research and policy

Research and policy We have developed research in youth entrepreneurship and jobs which we have shared with the portfolio committee, released into the public domain and aimed to shape policy through research. Looking forward, we shall assess the impact of National Youth Service through monitoring and evaluation of current programs. As per legislative requirements we have developed the Status of the Youth Report. We have also produced the Integrated Youth Development Strategy.

Integrated Youth Development Strategy Coordinated youth focused programmes across all sectors of government, and industries in order to align resource allocation Facilitated programmes aimed at job creation and economic security of youth in government, business and civil society organizations A monitoring and evaluation framework and system which will enable coordinated nationwide tracking of youth development programmes implemented by public, private and civil society organizations Optimise integration and maximise impact of youth development programmes Enable effectiveness and efficiencies through existing programmes Unlimited opportunities for development of many young South Africans Respond to emerging needs and aspirations for South African young people Innovate and create ground breaking interventions

Jobs summit

JOBS Summit Transport policy needs to be skewed towards new entrants and discouraged work seekers. Transport subsidies can have a measurable impact in boosting and sustaining employment. Access to broadband and the reduction of data costs are important. The high cost of data is a barrier for entry. Recognition of informal skills outside of matric qualification is critical to have mass absorption into the labor market. Recognition of internship programs as qualified experience is necessary to allow greater absorption and avoid young people moving from one job to another. Advertising of posts should state that they are ring fenced for young people between the ages of 18 – 35 and target rural unemployed youth.
