5 Million Jobs

Jobs provide self-respect, independence and fulfillment. Productive work is the bedrock of democracy and human development. South Africa needs jobs: it needs them more urgently than ever, and it needs them in the kind of numbers we have never created before. Towards the end of 2008, the Centre for Development and Enterprise and Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) brought together some leading South Africans to think ‘out of the box’ about unemployment and creating a really large number of  new jobs so that every South African who needs a job will be able to find one.

This publication is a result of that discussion.
