PwC South Africa Economic Outlook | September 2024
This edition looks at the local results from PwC’s Global Youth Outlook 2024.
By PwC
We’re pleased to share our ninth South Africa Economic Outlook report for 2024. This edition looks at the local results from PwC’s Global Youth Outlook 2024 to understand what young people are saying about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
These goals promote sustained and inclusive economic growth that would help South Africa make progress on its triple challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment. Achievement of the SDGs depends on the participation of all demographic segments of society, particularly the youth.
Our report looks at the status of South Africa’s performance on the SDGs, the goals that our young people think are most important, the local youth’s perceptions about society’s actions towards attaining the SDGs, and what private sector companies can do to embed the goals into their operations.
We also highlight how PwC South Africa plays its part in supporting the SDGs.
Key content in this report includes:
Development progress: South Africa has reached, or is on track to achieve, a third of the SDG sub-indicators
SDG priorities: Water and sanitation are the most important for South African youth
Action gaps: Young people feel the business sector is not doing enough to support the SDGs
What private companies can do: Strategy&’s four-step process for integrating SDGs into organisations
Walking the talk: PwC South Africa incorporated seven SDGs into our business strategy
