Employment in public and private sectors constitutes the right of every qualified and skilled or experienced personnel. However, the phenomenon of unemployment is increasingly realized among the youth and women due to a couple of hurdles including administrative malpractice and ineffective leadership. A 6-monthdescriptive study was conducted to explore relevant legal frameworks and the right to work, identify the causes of unemployment and determine the employment contour for sustainable development of workforces in South Sudan. Desk reviews, key informants’ interviews (KIIs) of300 respondents and observations were performed. Moreover, legal instruments were consulted. The results revealed that employment and socio-political rights were unequally distributed. They are subtly associated with material wealth and income. Empirical and regression analyses suggested that the high unemployment rate, the poor bear the brunt, as notable inequality generates a sense of exclusion and alienation. Administrative malpractice and leadership crisis in public and private sectors remain unabated policy issues. Therefore, employment policy makers are urged to develop a projection that supports equitable resources allocation. Political leadership is recommended to adopt inclusive and updated employment policies to enhance public and private sectors reform in South Sudan.
