Unscrupulous politicians, escalating crime, poor employment prospects and low education standards are behind a growing desire among South Africa's black youth to leave. In contrast, only 33% white and Indian youth want to go, reflecting a hardening of attitudes among black youngsters who have increasingly lost confidence in government. The latest national BratTrax study conducted by research group Youth Dynamix reveals that 42% of black teenagers between 13 and 15 are disillusioned and plan to leave as soon as they can. Reflecting views similar to their white and Indian counterparts, 71% of black youth felt it was impossible to get employment in South Africa; 58% said crime made them want to live in another country, and 73% felt government was not living up to its promises.
