What is the 2015 south africa's youth unemployment rate and what are the contributory factors to this state of affairs?

South Africa's total unemployment rate is at 25% but this number is a lot higher in the younger population - as high as 63%!

The contributory factors are:

-lack of proper education and lack of highly skilled workers means that there is a surplus of unskilled workers

-influences of apartheid (this contributes to the low level of education among others)

- slow economic growth
