The first in a series of biennial reviews, this comprehensive study by the HSRC's Research Programme on Human Resources Development (HRD) defines key education and training, labour market and macro-economic indicators in South Africa.
Examining socio-economic and political contexts, as well as the demand, supply and scarcity of skills, this vast volume of research gives a comprehensive assessment of HRD trends. Along with its companion web-based data warehouse, it is an invaluable, user-friendly resource for policy-makers, planners, managers and educators at both national and institutional levels.
The review concludes from all this data that HRD challenges are cross-sectoral and advises government to develop versatile, inter-departmental policies to successfully address human resource development in South Africa.
