Personal Finance with Bryan Hirsch

Two weeks ago, we started a conversation surrounding the right to work, job creation and the dignity of a living wage. We further expanded this discussion by unpacking if political parties have provided reasonable economic interventions in their manifestos that will address the unemployment crisis. Where we last left the conversation, a critical point had been raised surrounding the types of jobs being created and whose vocation had been excluded as well as the impact of austerity measures on work prospects within the public service.

In today’s discussion, we turn our attention to a daring new promise that has entered the public discourse as a mechanism to combat unemployment in lieu of low job creation. Political parties believe that this intervention that would address expanded unemployment.

Freedom, Elections and the Right to Work (part 2)

In one of our final discussions for Freedom Month, we  unpack the Quality of Life surveys that have been conducted in  South Africa in the last three decades. While South African  cities have higher quality of life scores than their African  counterparts, there are still major stumbling blocks facing a

citizen’s ability to access public goods, economic opportunities  and the protection of their social rights. 

We have seen that in the last five years, the COVID-19  pandemic highlighted some of the challenges facing citizens  when it comes to their proximity to poverty and glaring  inequalities during the lockdowns. How do we use these  indicators to change how we plan for better outcomes for this  nation in the next 30 years? We have brought together a panel  that can unpack what lessons we can take forward and how we  future-proof the quality of life toward an upward trajectory.
