Abstract

This analysis of the labour force provides crucial insights into the development and monitoring of policy measures aimed at boosting skills development and job creation. Improved and inclusive access to post-school education and training opportunities, especially increased shares of those with degrees in the labour force, contributes positively towards the growth of the economy and its global competitiveness.

This Fact Sheet uses Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) data obtained from Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) for the period 2022:Q3 to 2023:Q3.
