Statistician-General, Dr Pali Lehohla, will release the Vulnerable Groups Series I: The social profile of youth, 2009-2014 report at a media briefing to be held in Cape Town on Monday, 18 April 2016. This year marks four decades since the youth of South Africa precipitated an irreversible movement to seize freedom and flush out apartheid from the face of South Africa in 1976.
This is the first in a series of reports on vulnerable groups. The report analyses the socioeconomic and demographic profile of the youth in South Africa.
It is focusing amongst others, on employment, education, access to housing and basic services, access to food, and the receipt of social grants by youth. The report also highlights some challenges and successes experienced over the five year period between 2009 and 2014.
