Productivity Ecosystems for Decent Work Programme South Africa

South Africa continues to grapple with the “triple challenge” of persistently high unemployment, inequality, and poverty, despite its upper middle-income status. The country’s labour market exhibits the characteristics of both developed and less developed countries, with a high level of industrialisation existing side by side with rudimentary production processes, especially in townships, rural areas, and the informal sector. The average unemployment rate has been historically high, rising steadily from 23.2% in 2008 to 37.8% today.
