South Africa has quite a significant population of matriculated youth with exceptional pass results, and unfortunately roaming the streets and adding to the unemployment rate of the country. Those youth are not even fit for employment, lack the required skills, qualification and exposure required to be competitive in the job market. Nonetheless they have no option but to fit themselves into the community of job seekers. The average matric pass rate records 75%, while only 10% pursue graduation credentials, vocational schools and college, the rest are at the mercy of the social exclusion, non-productivity and significantly contributing to the unemployment statistics of the country.

Unemployment and lack of economic prospects of the township and rural youth are pushing many of them into criminal acts, excessive alcohol use, substance addiction, and in many cases resulting in processes of social or political violence. Long-term unemployment leads young people in a process of marginalization and social exclusion. The sustained high rates of long-term youth unemployment have several negative effects on societies.
