Description of Conference: An overview of human resources development Hrd in South Africa. It focuses on three institutional subsystems of the larger South African social system that play an important role in the development of human resources, the youth labour market, the world of work and the national system of science and innovation. The analysis shows how, in the South African context, contradiction and incoherence characterise the interactions between institutions in each of these three institutional subsystems. The author argues that policy coordination and implementation need to be joined up to achieve a more effective interlocking of institutions such as, for example, the improved dovetailing within the youth labour market of processes of acquiring a Grade 12 education and acquiring a job. The analysis concludes by arguing that the skills problem in South Africa is not located only at the high skills end, but also in intermediate and low-skill needs. Each of these skill bands are experiencing severe Hrd problems which require urgent resolution.
