The 2010 MTBPS re-affirms the important role of the private sector in growth and employment creation. While social grants provide an important safety net for about a quarter of the population, South Africa's long-term prosperity depends on more people being drawn into work. The private sector accounts for 75 per cent of all economic activity and a slightly higher share of employment, and will remain the primary driver for job creation. The public sector plays a complementary role in this process. Alongside a range of initiatives to increase training and skills development, specific government interventions to raise employment include an expanded public works program and a youth job imitative.
