´n Klein deeltjie hiervan is die permanente werksgeleenthede wat deur die Uitgebreide Program vir Openbare werke (EPWP) geskep is. Maar daar bestaan geen twyfel dat hierdie program in ´n beduidend hoër rat oorgeskakel kan en moet word nie. Daar is ook geen twyfel nie dat ons meer selfwerksaamheid kan skep deur middle van klein en mikro-ondernemings. En gegewe dat ´n groot meerderheid van die werkloses jongmense is, kan ons baie beter doen deur ingrypings soos die Nasionale Jeugdiens en die ontwikkeling van jong entrepreneurs.
A small part of these are the permanent job opportunities created through the Expanded Public Works Programme. But there is no question that this programme can and must be ratcheted upwards quite significantly. There is also no question that we can do much better to create self-employment through small and micro-enterprises. And given that a large majority of the unemployed are youth, we can do much better in terms of such interventions as the National Youth Service and the development of young entrepreneurs.
