Talk:Youth in South Africa

New article
Hello all! This is my first go at creating a Wikipedia article, so I would love feedback and edits. In particular, I would like the section on poverty to be expanded upon at some point. Macmaclee (talk) 16:03, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Feedback
Hi Macmaclee. Great job on your article here. Could you provide a date/year for the claim that youth comprise 37% of the population? This will help us later on if the information becomes outdated. gobonobo + c 14:13, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

It might also be useful (if you can find a source) to put that figure in context - does that mean that SA is an especially young country, mid-range, aging...some sense of where 37% would fall on a global scale. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:56, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The various census reports linked and cited in South African National Census of 2011 are probably the best (most authorotative) sources for this. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:24, 5 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey all. The 37% statistic is actually an estimate from the 1996 census and the 2007 World Bank Development and the Next Generation Report - I couldn't find any reports on the population of youth in the 2011 census. The 1996 report states that the youth population was approximately 40% in 1996. As far as I could tell, the 37% was an estimated figure from the World Bank based on that figure.

Future section
I would love to see something about youth culture and youth agency (ability to effect change) in future editorial work. Cheers! Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 17:55, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The youth leagues of some political parties are influential players in national as well as internal party politics. The ANCYL was a major factor in the "palace revolution" that resulted in Thabo Mbeki's resignation and the rise of Jacob Zuma to the presidency. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:12, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
