Isolation, loneliness and depression often follow unemployment and poverty. Many people's self-esteem decreases. Unemployment's boredom and lack of motivation may lead to the use of drugs, tobacco and alcohol. Poverty and passivity can lead to poor health and a lack of welfare. The chances of domestic violence and abuse can increase. Unemployment leads to an increase in welfare dependants. A high unemployment rate among educated youth can potentially lead to political confrontation and violence. Reasons for unemployment: (3 points for a full discussion) A country's low economic growth can hamper higher employment. When businesses close down, employees can be retrenched. Mergers between companies can result in job losses. Economic recession leads to a decline in the demand for goods and raw materials. To save money, some companies declare positions as redundant. Mechanisation and electronic production means less people need to be employed. Privatisation may in some cases lead to less employment opportunities. Many workers' education and training is inadequate. After 1994, school policies led older children to leaving school early. It was expected that they would enrol in training programmes or programmes for adult education, but it did not happen. South Africa has labour laws like prescribed minimum wages that make it less attractive for employers to hire new staff. Some employers take foreigners into service. Solutions to counter unemployment: (1 mark per factor) Volunteer work. Part-time work. Community work. Entrepreneurship. Informal work. TOTAL SECTION C: 20 GRAND TOTAL: 80
