Labour Laws contribute to unemployment

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Here is an interesting article from the Daily Mail & Guardian which
supports my view that the ANC’s laws are devised to make it difficult for
foreigners to invest. I don’t believe the ANC actually wants capitalists
to invest here. What they want is handouts from the West to fund their
socialist programs. They don’t really want blacks to see that Capitalism
works and that there is an alternative to socialism. Read the article
below.


SOUTH Africa’s labour legislation, coupled with the lack of skills among
the majority of prospective employees, were responsible for the rising
tide of unemployment, according to the SA Institute of Race Relations
(SAIRR).

In its 55th annual South Africa survey released in Johannesburg on
Wednesday, SAIRR said the current 26 percent unemployment rate since 1998
could also be attributed to the fact that labour legislation were
discouraging employers from exercising activities such as retrenchments.
The reluctance of foreign investors to come to South African shores was
partly due to the rampant lack of skills caused by a history of racial
education systems like the Bantu education.

This contributed to the decreasing employment rate.

Kane-Berman said strikes and other labour disputes were not necessarily
to blame as they were just part of the problem.

In terms of educational qualification, the country has been experiencing
a general drop, particularly in tertiary enrolment which went down by 18%
between 1994 and 1997.

But Kane-Berman said the “good news” to employers in terms of the
Employment Equity Act was that Africans obtaining tertiary qualifications
had increased by 27%, although most of them tend to go for Public
Administration and Social Sciences.

According to the SAIRR, Coloureds have been the hardest hit at 21,9% this
year from 15,8% in 1998.

Africans have remained generally stable at 31,1% from 32%; Indians 17,6%
(14,7% 1998) while Whites have moved from 4,4% to 6,6% over the same
period.

On living conditions, the survey found the government has produced 19% of
households between 1995 and 1999, with electrified homes up by 31% and
clean water by 25%.

The public health care system has improved by a mere five percent while
the private health care by only three percent.

Crime has been generally on the up between 1994 and 2000, with rape
incidents up by nine percent, robbery and assault 14% respectively, while
murder dropped by 30%.
