The second report on the National and Provincial Labour Market: Youth suggests that young people in the South African labour market bore the brunt of the recent world economic crisis. "Over the period 2008–2015, key labour market rates deteriorated by a larger margin among youth compared with adults, and the frustration of not finding employment has led many young people to become discouraged and exit the labour force altogether."
