The African continent is colloquially referred to as the youngest in the world. Seizing on a topic underexplored in African research, Youth Development in South Africa: Harnessing the Demographic Dividend confronts the issues, challenges, and opportunities facing South Africa’s youth, resulting in a rich exploration of the South African corpus on youth development.


Bringing together a diverse range of topics and research methodologies, contributors focus on the demographic dividend, South Africa’s relatively large population of young people, and the implications of harnessing this for economic growth and development within this country. Analysing model institutional and policy initiatives for youth development, contributors present a unique translation of ideas into practice, as well as attention to solutions. Highlighting challenges such as health pandemics, social media, and climate change, chapters cover questions surrounding youth aspirations, employment, and inclusivity.


Showcasing the voices of researchers from across South Africa and the larger African continent, Youth Development in South Africa: Harnessing the Demographic Dividend is a compelling snapshot of thirty years of South Africa’s democratic dispensation and what it has meant for the youth of the country, as well as how its demographic dividend can be harnessed for a fairer society in the future.

Botshabelo Maja is a specialist on youth matters, particularly working class youth and the challenges they face in deriving meaning out of their lives. He works as a senior government official in South Africa. Busani Ngcaweni is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Johannesburg and Visiting Adjunct Professor at Wits School of Governance, South Africa.
