The labour market openly practices discrimination against women and Black people and South Africa is still referred to as the most unequal country in the world.

Here is some advice for youth who may be vulnerable to exploitation in the labour market:

1. Know your rights: Familiarize yourself with local labour laws and regulations, including minimum wage, working hours, and occupational health and safety standards. Also know your human rights as enshrined in the Constitution.
2. Be cautious of job offers that seem too good to be true: Be wary of job offers with high pay and no experience required, as these may be scams or lead to exploitation.
3. Do research: Research the company and the job offer before accepting it. Check online reviews, and reach out to current or former employees for more information.
4. Get a contract: Always make sure to have a written contract that outlines the terms and conditions of your employment, including pay, hours, and responsibilities.
5. Seek support: If you believe you are being exploited, seek support from a trusted friend, family member, or local worker’s rights organization.
6. Keep records: Keep records of your pay, hours worked, and any incidents of exploitation, in case you need to report them later.
7. Keep your options open: Do not rely solely on one job opportunity. Continue looking for other job opportunities and be open to new possibilities.

Remember, you have the right to safe and fair working conditions, and there are resources available to help you if you are exploited. Stay informed and be proactive in protecting your rights and interests in the workplace.
