abstract: 'Labour market policies such as National Minimum Wages (NMW) are widely
used in different countries to reduce poverty and inequality. Given the
high and rising rate of youth unemployment in South Africa, we ask the
question: how might a NMW affect the labour market outcomes of employed
and unemployed youth? The perspectives of employed and unemployed youth
aged 18-25 years were solicited through focus group discussions in five
provinces. The findings suggest that a NMW could benefit youth engaged
in formal employment, it could stimulate job-seeking for discouraged
work seekers and is unlikely to crowd out investments in further
education. However, the vast majority of unemployed youth will probably
not benefit from a NMW. This is due to the multiple and complex needs of
disadvantaged youth. Other social interventions are needed to address
the youth unemployment crisis.'
