Faced with the daunting challenge of increasing levels of youth unemployment, the debate over youth economic empowerment solutions has become highly contested, as was recently witnessed during a violent stand-off between the DA and Cosatu over the modalities of the youth wage subsidy. While the solution to this ticking timebomb does not lie in a single-handed approach, it is important that a correct message about the sustainability of the solutions are at our disposal.
