Issue 3 of the Human Factor aims to give people an insight into what it is like to be young in South Africa right now. Three-fifths of South Africans are under the age of 30. We'll look at the issues they face, from inadequate schooling to hopelessness once they start looking for work. We will explore young people’s own stories – in their own words and through their own art. We'll delve into the secrets of their rapidly developing, ever-evolving brains. And we consider what might happen if, finally, we see young people as potent allies who are fully part of a society that’s as complex, changeable and profoundly beautiful as they all are.
