TAILIEUCHUNG - Skills Shortages in South Africa

South Africa’s skills shortages are widely regarded as a key factor preventing the achievement of targeted growth rates. There is some dispute as to the nature and extent of these shortages, given that the country also has a large pool of unemployed graduates. The case studies presented in this monograph explore the question of shortage in nine key professions and trades and find evidence of skills scarcity in most fields. | SKILLS SHORTAGES IN SOUTH AFRICA CASE STUDIES F KEY PROFESSIONS EDITED BY JOHAN ERASMUS MIGNONNE BREIER Free download from HSRC PRESS Free download from Published by HSRC Press Private Bag X9182 Cape Town 8000 South Africa First published 2009 ISBN soft cover 978-0-7969-2266-3 ISBN pdf 978-0-7969-2273-1 2009 Human Sciences Research Council The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors.
