Graduate unemployment: closing the demand-supply gap

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Graduate unemployment is on the rise in South Africa. Investing in new research infrastructure and in absorbing young and highly skilled graduates should be stock-in-trade for science councils and higher education institutions. Instead, declining or stagnating research and development (R&D) human resources, together with under-investment on R&D infrastructure in these vital public institutions, have created systemic vulnerability.
