The Spanish Chamber of Commerce RSA extends a cordial invitation to you to join us at a significant event aimed at addressing a pressing issue in South Africa - Youth Unemployment. This event, spearheaded by the Swiss Cham Southern Africa, South Africa Chapter, is organised to bring together key decision-makers from various sectors to discuss actionable solutions to combat youth unemployment and explore how companies can play a meaningful role in increasing youth participation in the workforce.

This distinguished event, co-hosted in collaboration with various European Chambers, offers an invaluable opportunity to delve into the intricacies of this multifaceted challenge and discern actionable solutions.

Renowned researcher, Dr. Maximilian Matschke, dedicated over half a decade to extensive fieldwork within South African townships, conducting in-depth interviews with more than a hundred subject matter experts, and rigorously analyzing statistical data. Dr. Matschke's research endeavors culminated in the completion of a doctoral thesis, wherein he meticulously crafted four distinct scenarios, projecting into the year 2040.

Despite the prevailing complex sociopolitical and economic milieu in South Africa, Dr. Matschke firmly asserts the existence of concrete and attainable remedies. At this scholarly gathering, he will guide us through an array of scenarios and proffer viable strategic approaches that can be adopted by enterprises operating within the South African business landscape.

Join us in this academic endeavor to collectively decipher viable pathways to address youth unemployment and shape a more promising future for South Africa's youth and the nation as a whole.
