The official unemployment rate increased from 32.5% in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2020 to 32.6% in Q1 in 2021 – a record since the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) was launched in 2008, according to Statistics South Africa (Stats SA). The rate under the expanded definition, which includes those who have given up on the hunt for a job, is now 43.2%. Youth unemployment under the expanded definition is a staggering 74.7%, which means that only one in four school leavers who are 24 or under have a job in South Africa.

Stats SA suspended face-to-face surveys in March 2020 because of the pandemic, and the QLFS has since been carried out by computer-assisted telephonic interviews
