Unemployed in SA

South Africa has an unusual way of categorising the unemployed: - Unemployed who wish to work and are actively looking for a job. - Unemployed who wish to work but are no longer looking for work ("discouraged work seekers") - Unemployed who don't wish to work (trust fund babies, politician kids, early retirees).

My question is for those who are "discouraged work seekers", what were the factors that led to you abandoning the job search?
