Download Is there a solution for graduate unemployment?
For young people lucky enough to go into higher education, long hours of study are put in with the anticipation of a better job and life prospects.
But finding work after leaving university isn’t guaranteed.
In South Africa, graduate unemployment stands at 32%.
Julius Malema, leader of the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters, has suggested a stipend for unemployed graduates.
