The International Labour Organisation (ILO) believes South Africa should immediately introduce the youth wage subsidy - in some sectors of the economy - to test if it would yield results.
IOL deputy director for Decent Work Team for Southern and East Africa, Joni Musabayana, points out that, the youth wage subsidy was successful in many countries.
Musabayana says as part of its ‘decent work’ campaign the ILO is working with government to turn job opportunities in the Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) into productive jobs.
