What Are The Reasons For The High Unemployment Rate Among South African Youth (part 1)
Despite the rising youth unemployment trend in South Africa due to the economy becoming more knowledge-orientated, skills development is now a significant facet of the youth unemployment discourse. It is regarded as an indispensable precondition for ensuring that young people around the world have access to economic opportunities. Dlamini posits that skills development is a panacea to youth unemployment in post-apartheid South Africa. Hence, young people’s success in finding jobs depends on the existence of appropriate skills development policies. This line of thinking aligns with the oral problem statement of policymakers around the world that promoting skills development amongst young people is the...

What Are The Reasons For The High Unemployment Rate Among South African Youth
The unemployment rate is a significant core indicator adopted globally to monitor and compare labour markets around the world. It is an index of the percentage of unemployed persons in the current labour force which is made up of both employed and unemployed persons .

What are some reasons for South Africans Emigrating
Since the beginning of time man has been moving from one place to the next, like animals migrating from one place to another, be it for better hunting grounds or food or because of the changing weather.
In modern times we have borders that limit us to the conditions within those borders and the governments that rule them. Thus, the idea of migration is not as simple as during pre-historic times when humans simply decided to move and migrate to another place to improve their living conditions. According to the National Geographic Society, human migration takes place when people move from one place in the world to another to take up...

What Are Some Significant Roles Of Fathers
Fatherhood is a reasonably recent research area. The term „father‟ comes from the Latin word „pater‟ which means a male parent, or a person who takes responsibility for protecting, caring, and rearing a child (International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family, 2003)[1]. Until the 1960s there were very few studies conducted on fatherhood, with most research in the 1960s focusing on the deficit model of fatherhood, documenting father-absence and its adverse consequences on children and mothers. Since the 1980s there has been an escalation of international research on fathering and fatherhood, coming to the conclusion that fathers are an important and unique psychological, social, and material resource for children and families. Besides the growing academic focus on fatherhood in South Africa, there has also been...

What Are Some Types Of Influence The West Have On LGBT In Africa?
In February 2014, Uganda’s notorious Anti-Homos*xuality Act was signed into law, bringing to a climax a five-year saga apparently sparked and sponsored by American evangelical groups. Less than half a year later, the country’s Supreme Court struck down the law on technical grounds, allegedly due to pressure put on President Museveni by Western governments. While many have analyzed the role of Western evangelical organizations in lobbying for this law, the situation on the continent is more complex and wider than in Uganda. Following a wave of successful campaigns for gay marriage in Europe and America, many African governments have been taking or talking...

What Are Some Interesting Facts About Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood that is observed in different forms throughout the world. In the United States, Mother’s Day 2023 will occur on Sunday, May 14.

What Is Some Interesting Information About Feminism?
bout half of the global human population is women. At every step, all over the world; women face inequality, subordination, and second-class status. Often they are a victim of oppression, marginalization, and exploitation in patriarchal societies. Before the First Industrial Revolution (IR), human life was not men dominated, and both men and women contributed equally to society. The IR began in England in about 1750-1760 that lasted sometime between 1820 and 1840. The IR dramatically changed the global social order and consequently, a new gender system started worldwide that disadvantaged women. During this period men started to work in industries and women were restricted to the domestic sphere. As a result, they remain vulnerable socially, politically, and economically. Industrialization also developed a new class system; the aristocratic class (Anderson & Zinsser, 2000)[2]. In the 21st century, there is no straightforward definition of feminism. At present, there are as many definitions of feminism as feminists are depending on their own beliefs, history, and culture, but...

What Are Some Interesting Facts About Easter
Fixing the date on which the Resurrection of Jesus was to be observed and celebrated triggered a major controversy in early Christianity in which an Eastern and a Western position can be distinguished. The dispute, known as the Paschal controversies, was not definitively resolved until the 8th century. In Asia Minor, Christians observed the day of the Crucifixion on the same day that Jews celebrated the Passover offering—that is, on the 14th day of the first full moon of spring, 14 Nisan (see Jewish calendar). The Resurrection, then, was observed two days later, on 16 Nisan, regardless of the day of the week. In the West the Resurrection of Jesus was celebrated on the first day of the week, Sunday, when Jesus had risen from the dead. Consequently, Easter was always celebrated on the first Sunday after the 14th day of the month of Nisan. Increasingly, the churches opted for the Sunday celebration, and the Quartodecimans (“14th-day” proponents) remained a minority. The Council of Nicaea in 325 decreed that Easter should be observed on the...

What Are Some Circumstances That Breed Child Labour In South Africa
No parent or guardian would willingly have their children subjected to exploitative conditions of work unless they are compelled by circumstances. Most households send their children to work only when driven to do so by poverty. While it is accepted that poverty is not the only reason for child labour, it remains a major push factor for many children to work under exploitative conditions. Like in the rest of Africa, poverty has contributed to the child labour problem. SA’s ranking as a middle-income country paradoxically masks a situation where a large percentage of the population lives under conditions similar to those in many poor developing countries. This is partly attributed to SA’s high level of income inequality. Inequality allows the relative poverty of a portion of the population to be exploited. Thus, children from poor families are compelled to engage in work which may be detrimental and harmful to them, in order to assist in...

What Are Some Reasons For Honour Killings
Honor killing is one of the most severe and violent crimes against women. It is the murder of a girl or woman by her family members (such as her father, mother, brothers, uncles, or grandparents) or sometimes community members because of her disapproved s*xual behavior. What counts as disapproved s*xual behavior is specific to communities and sometimes even families; it typically includes not only s*x outside marriage, but also flirting, refusing arranged marriage, s*x before marriage, and even being r***d. A woman’s perceived or actual transgression of family, community, or religious s*xual traditions is seen...

What Are Some Factors That Contribute To Cohabitation
Human culture in the 21st century has been transformed by a revolution in s*xual values. Promiscuity is regarded by many as a virtue to pursue. Children who do not engage in premarital s*x are perceived by their peers as stupid, boring, and unsophisticated, with the result that children are trying s*x at earlier ages than ever before. This has given birth to a culture of cohabitation, where since the 1960s cohabitation and premarital s*x have been growing trends worldwide. Cohabitation and premarital s*x as a lifestyle are on the rise throughout the world and South Africa is no exception. They are fast becoming a kind of norm amongst students and the...

What Is the Significance Of Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day has a variety of historical origins, each one believed to play a part in the development of the holiday. One such origin, which took place in pagan Rome, highlighted two well-known gods: Lupercus, who protected lambs from wolves, and Juno, who watched over wives. By combining the responsibilities of each deity, the Romans matched up eligible men and women for marriage, as if to remind young men to view women as potential marriage partners instead of prey. After Constantine legalized Christianity, the church named the holiday after a bishop who, according to legends, played matchmaker to young Christians. An additional origin of Valentine’s Day can be traced back to...
