economist warns sas unemployment crisis worsening despite job growth

An economist has warned that South Africa faces a worsening unemployment crisis , with job creation failing to keep pace with demand.

Associate Professor at the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies, Justine Visagie, says only about 130 000 formal jobs have been created annually over the past decade.

Visagie is calling for fresh thinking, including greater support for the informal economy and expanded social support measures to address the scale of the crisis.
