Khorixas from a lack of economic development and employment opportunities, which leads to frustration and outward migration among many of the town's youth.〔(Khorixas: A town on a downward spiral ) ''The Namibian'', 10 August 2009〕 The unemployment rate in town is estimated to be around 70%. Donkerhoek ((アフリカーンス語:dark corner)), the town's informal settlement, has neither water nor electricity.〔
