Hon Deputy Speaker, let me start with the first part of the follow-up question. I think what we need to see with the job numbers is something very important. The size of the labour force is growing dramatically. We had job growth on a quarterly basis, but not fast enough. We don't have enough job growth to take account of the inadequate labour force.
Coming to the second issue, I think Minister Gordhan has given a comprehensive reply to the question of youth employment. If one wants to deal with labour market issues, there are three remarks I want to make. The first one is that we need more than labour market measures. We need a comprehensive response, and we need to set it out in the New Growth Path - tackle monopoly pricing and concentration ownership, address skills challenges in the economy and deal with infrastructure issues.
Secondly, we need to clearly define the labour market measures. What are those measures? We have an option of concentrating on building partnerships and tackling the productivity challenges of our country, or alternatively of starting a major industrial conflict over this or that piece of legislation. What government is focusing on is how to build a common vision in this country and how to unite everybody around a productivity vision.
This goes to the third point. Ultimately we are not going to resolve these issues in a piecemeal way. For that we need a social accord that brings together organised labour, the business community and government and places difficult issues on the table - wages, executive pay, prices and jobs. That is the approach we are taking as government; that is the view set out in the New Growth Path; and that is the view all my colleagues are propagating in their public comments. Thank you.
