Demand outlook	HRDC forecasts about 363 openings a year in SOCIAL SCIENCES (2025). Years of backlog: not shown. Appendix 3 publishes no unemployment sector matching Social Sciences, so no figure is available. Graduates per opening: 1.59. ISCED bundles Journalism and Information with Social Sciences, so this ratio is indicative only. These openings are a forecast of need, not posts that are currently being filled. In July 2026 the Directorate of Public Service Management told Parliament's Public Accounts Committee that government "currently do not have the financial capacity to create new vacancies", and that more than 8,000 students now graduate each year while the economy is no longer creating jobs at the same pace. Government policy reserves 80% of entry-level vacancies for new graduates and is achieving about 70%. (Directorate of Public Service Management, evidence to the 62nd sitting of the Public Accounts Committee, reported by Mmegi (July 2026).) This describes the whole field, not this programme alone, and it is not a government waiting list — Botswana publishes no such figure.
