Africa is currently the only continent where the youth population is increasing. In population studies and Economics, having a youthful population has both positive and negative implications. The sad reality witnessed especially in Africa has been that countries lack adequate economic activities to realize this potential. In today’s world, the youth is facing the most of hardships and lack of belongingness within the society. Youth in South Africa constitute a big chunk of the population, yet it remains the most subjugated and marginalized. The difficult circumstances that young people face because of limited opportunities for education and training, viable employment and health and social services, and because of a growing incidence of substance abuse and juvenile delinquency is deteriorating the chance of South Africa’s quest for achieving the status of a developed Nation. Thus, there is a special need for new impetus to be given to the design and implementation of youth policies and programmes at all levels. How the challenges and potentials of young people are addressed by policy will influence current social and economic conditions and the well-being and livelihood of future generations.
