COMMUNITY INTERVENTION PROJECT PLAN1
Introduction
Unemployment is one of the challenging situations a nation can face. It provides a
threat to the economic state of the nation. Researchers mentioned that unemployment
emerges when the willing workers are unable to find any jobs and hence it lowers down the
economic output of the nationality. Extremity in the field of unemployment is a signal that
the nation is going to face economic distress. South African is an example of victimizing the
situation of unemployment. The young generation of South Africa faces lot of challenges in
the field of employment. There are various reasons behind this challenging situation in South
Africa. Chella & Phiri, (2017). mentioned about various types of unemployment that include
structural, cyclical, seasonal, and frictional. The consequences of unemployment may
increase the interest rate, economic crisis, and global recession. The main reason behind
unemployment are demand deficient, wage and unemployment, and structural issues of the
government. The study will highlight the issues of unemployment in the community of South
Africa. The study will try to find out some intervention addressing the problem of
unemployment. The study will also highlight the strength and weaknesses of the intervention
to measure the effectiveness of the intervention (Zabala & Sullivan, 2018). The discussion
provide a space to intervene There is a scope for further research for the consequences of
unemployment from global perspective with the discussion extracted from the study.
Discussion

the jobless people in the country. According to the statistical report of 2019 the rate of
unemployment increased from 0.1 percent to 29.1 percent.

Researchers mentioned that the situation of South America is one of the worst conditions
observed in the states worldwide. Especially, the rate of unemployment in Nigeria is 23.1%
and in Turkey it is 14.0%. Researchers found some causes of unemployment in South Africa
that is worth to be mentioned in this regard. Some of the important causes are mentioned in
the following section –
 Lacking competition in various industries that reasons the economic depression in
South Africa (Zabala & Sullivan, 2018). For example, the small firms of South Africa
are restricted from frequent and easy entry in the market place that is a kind of
restriction for the growth of the economy of South Africa.
 On the other hand, the concept of low-trust is very much observed within the nation of
South Africa. It is one of the reasons for creating costly bureaucracy along with the
dispute in the labor force that makes the employers more aversive towards risks (Parr
et al., 2018). The employers also tend to hire less qualified candidates. This is the
most striking effect behind the suppressing levels of employment.
 The investors of this community are mainly unaware about the threatening aspects for
them. They are unaware about the threats for the property rights, social and political

instability and the measurable level of corruption (Levin & Sefati, 2018). Hence, the
ignorant and the unwillingness of the investors of South Africa lack the potentiality to
offer new opportunities to the young generation of the nation.
 The notion of substitutional Industrialization introduced the concept of uncompetitive,
intensive social and economic environment from which South Africa was remarkable
excluded (Mapadimeng, 2018). The structural mismatch of South African
administration is the most remarkable limitation that gives birth to the concept of
unemployment.
 Education is the most affecting aspect of the young generation of South Africa. The
young generation of South Africa is observed with low skill that creates a mismatch
with the organisational culture (Glass & Stoudt, 2019). The employers of the country
highly criticize the low and poor skill of the young generation, rather they term the
youth of their country as unskilled. The schooling facility of South Africa is not
efficient and well equipped for to provide them right amount of education related to
the required field.
 The rate of unemployment increased the rate of poverty within the nation. Mahadea
(2016) mentioned that poverty is the main reason behind poor educational structure
and unemployment. Most of the parents remain busy for meeting the basic needs of
the human being and the important aspects of life that is education remained
unnoticed or neglected.
 From the applied ecological perspective, the South African administrative or
academic feature is not technologically sound. It refers to the scientific knowledge
about unemployment, social advantage, technical advantage, and competitive
advantage. It helps the young generation to make a connection between reward and
work. However, Twinomurinzi & Magundini, (2018) mentioned that, the young
