STAROOT VACANCIES Editor’s pick of the week: New data from StatsSA finds that in 2014, as many as 1.5 million of the 5.1 million unemployed people were looking for a job for more than 5 years, up from 974,000 in 2008.

The research noted that there were 5.0 million unemployed people in South Africa in Q1:2014 of which 3.3 million were long-term unemployed and 1.7 million short-term unemployed.

Among those in long-term unemployment in Q1: 2014, 318,000 found a job the following quarter, while among the short-term unemployed, 337,000 found In the post – recession period, since 2010 the incidence of long – term unwork. employment among those with work experience has been in the 54.0% to StatsSA noted that women suffer from 58.0% range–up from 48.3% in 2008 a higher incidence of long – term unbefore the recession occurred. employment compared with men.

The data also reveals the substantial gender bias in the incidence of longterm unemployment. The percentage of both men and women that were unemployed for one year or longer was highest in 2011 at 64.9% and 72.4% respectively.

By 2014, the percentage of unemployed people looking for work for one year or longer had fallen to 61.8% among men and 70.3% among women.

The data showed that in both 2008 and 2014, the incidence of long-term unemployment was lowest among those with tertiary education.

Over the period 2008 – 2014, there were increases for every education level, but it was among those with tertiary education that the increase was largest (10.7 percentage points).

WHAT DRIVES ENTREPRENEURS? -Article by Gugu Mjadu

O

ne of the most enduring myths about those who take the difficult, uncharted path of starting their own business is that they are mainly motivated by money. The short response to anyone who tries to uphold this crude misunderstanding is simply that there are many easier ways to make money – starting a business is not one of them.

ence and a formidable legacy.”

Even though they are rare all over the world, Mjadu believes South Africa still has far too few of them. “One of these individuals can do an enormous amount of good, from being a role-model and job creator to disrupting vested interests with their radical new ways of doing things.”

“There are many different goals that an entrepreneurs try to achieve when they risk so much and work so hard for their businesses. While entrepreneur’s sets of inspirations can differ greatly, there are broad patterns that help us understand these complex soldiers of economic growth and wealth creation.”

Mjadu says that it is difficult to generalise about this group as they come from vastly different backgrounds and industries. She adds that if there is one common characteristic that they share, it is their yearning for independence. “The majority of these entrepreneurs say they have no desire to be the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Rather, they seek their fulfilment in financial independence and the freedom to choose their own working hours, deadlines and pace.”

In the middle of the entrepreneurship spectrum, between the survivalThis is according to Gugu Mjadu, general manager: marketing for Busi- ist entrepreneurs and the high-flyers, lies a group of business owners ness Partners, who says that the long answer has to do with what drives who are no less important for South Africa’s prosperity – the lifestyle and fulfils entrepreneurs, which is totally unrelated to money. entrepreneur.

Mjadu explains there are three different types of entrepreneurs. “Firstly, there are the necessity driven entrepreneurs, which accounts for a larger portion of business owners in South Africa. These entrepreneurs start their businesses because they have no other choice – their survival depends on getting out there and trading.”

She adds that necessity driven entrepreneurs scrape together what they can, and often start their business by copying others in often overtraded markets, where growth and progress are rare. “Driven by survival, their fulfilment often has a strong family focus, and they will work hard to provide food or put their children through school so that their lives may one day be less challenging.”

She stresses that anyone who thinks this is a sort of laziness has probably never run a business. “Creating and running a business successfully takes an enormous amount of work, creativity and persistence to become financially independent, and even more to get a business to a place where you can start working flexible hours.”

The things that fulfil these entrepreneurs can differ widely, says Mjadu.

“For example, smaller lifestyle entrepreneurs find fulfilment in being excellent artisans, such as restaurateurs, while others find deep satisfaction in providing outstanding customer care. More family-focused enOn the opposite side of the spectrum is high-growth entrepreneurs. trepreneurs may live for providing career paths for their children, and Mjadu says that these are the scarcest types of entrepreneurs, even dream of a business that stretches over generations.” though these individuals are the examples that most people think of when the word ‘entrepreneur’ is mentioned. “High-impact individuals’ Mjadu adds that ultimately, all types of entrepreneurs end their careers fame has made names such as Mark Shuttleworth, Oprah Winfrey and as pillars of the community, and find fulfilment in ‘giving back’ to the Elon Musk synonymous with entrepreneurship.” people who have supported their business.
