WHY WE EXIST
The South African economy finds itself at a crossroads, choosing between economic growth or an economy in free fall. At this crossroads, youth unemployment rates hover around 64% with access to education, business opportunities and other developmental opportunities remaining limited.
In the face of these predicaments, SAYEC exists to serve as an economic and legal policy advocacy group that promotes youth participation and integration in the economy. We seek to create and promote a transformed economy where youth become central to economic growth and job creation.
