| The employment landscape for young people is marked by persistent challenges, increasing the risk of long-term consequences such as reduced earning potential and limited access to decent work. Globally, many economies face similar labour market pressures, further intensifying youth unemployment. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the situation by pushing many young people into precarious employment and deepening their vulnerability to poverty. This paper examines poverty among employed youth under the age of 35, using South Africa as a case study and drawing on the 2023 General Household Survey data collected by Statistics South Africa. The study followed a quantitative research approach using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. The findings show that gender and other socio-economic factors, such as education, sector of employment and overall life satisfaction, play a critical role in the youth being poor. The working poverty rate was estimated at 34%, which suggests that one in three youths in this sample could not earn enough to lift themselves above the poverty line, despite being employed. A review of existing policy reforms is urgently required, as the government has not done enough to support and empower the youth. This is especially true considering the kinds of employment these young people find themselves in 30 years into democracy. Intensive and intentional support must be prioritised to have the most meaningful catalytic effect on the youth. | ||
