Labour Market Intelligence research programme

Summary

The idea behind this project emanates from DHET discussions with the South African Artisans Council (now the South African Artisan Movement), an organisation formed by artisans who have been unable to find employment. This project has been initiated to look at the issues of the supply and demand of artisans in the country, and to begin to unpack the reasons why research would suggest on the one hand that we need more artisans, and certain organisations are telling us, on the other hand, that we have enough artisans for certain artisanal trades and many are unemployed.
