Abstract

The South African labor market is facing several challenges, including stagnant real wages and rising living costs. These challenges have significant implications for workers, their families, and the broader economy. This chapter has explored the challenges facing the South African labor market, and their implications for workers and their families. The chapter has also provided potential solutions, including policy interventions that promote wage growth and reduce living costs, as well as education and training policies that promote social mobility. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that involves policymakers, civil society, and the private sector. By implementing these solutions, South Africa can build a more prosperous and equitable labor market that benefits all of its citizens.
