乡镇空间的年轻女性渴望表现出富裕的生活方式，这是一种不同于社会经济空间稀缺特征的社会经济现实。这些年轻妇女所向往的更好的生活方式与她们目前的现实情况相反，由于许多年轻妇女的生计基础是失业，因此很难实现。对一些年轻妇女来说，失业经历与其他社会经济因素交织在一起，如过早接触性行为、少女怀孕、辍学和成为母亲的经历加剧了她们的经济困难。这里的讨论是从一项研究中得出的，该研究是通过对南非两个乡镇的年轻女性的民族志观察得出的。讨论引出了对年轻女性经济困难的全面描述，她们在经济社会现实中挣扎。讨论表明，年轻妇女是积极的行动者，她们的灵感和手段与作为她们所在城镇空间特征的可怕的社会经济条件作斗争。对他们眼前状况的认识有助于推动他们的梦想走向更好的现实，使他们在财务方法上足智多谋，而这些方法有时是脆弱的。然而，年轻女性的足智多谋受到了冠状病毒爆发和由此产生的封锁规定的影响，这在某种程度上影响了她们从机构中汲取资金的方式。
Young women in township spaces aspire towards lifestyles that demonstrate affluence, a different socio-economic reality than the scarcity characterising their socio-economic space. The better lifestyles these young women aspire to, contrary to their current realities, are challenging to attain due to the unemployment underlying the livelihoods of many young women. For some young women, the experiences of unemployment intersect with other socio-economic factors such as early sexual exposure, teenage pregnancies, school dropout and experience of motherhood escalating their financial difficulties. The discussion here is drawn from a study through Ethnographic observations of young women in two South African townships. The discussion elicits a comprehensive account of young women's economic hardships in which they navigate their socio-economic realities. The discussion demonstrates that young women are active agents whose inspirations and instrumentalities struggle against the dire socio-economic conditions that characterise their township space. The awareness of their immediate conditions serves to fuel their dreams towards better realities, making them resourceful in their financial approaches: which are sometimes vulnerable. The young women's resourcefulness is however impacted by the Corona virus outbreak and the resultant lockdown regulations in a way that affects how they draw from their agencies.
