Product Description
Review
"This study uses current methods in modern labour economics, deploys them on appropriate South African data sets, and answers questions on which previously we had limited knowledge, or in some cases, none of all. We regard this volume as the major reference work on labour markets, poverty and inequality in South Africa." Gary Fields and Erik Thorbecke, Cornell University
Product Description
Unquestionably, poverty and inequality are among the major challenges that face South Africa today. In this well-researched, comprehensive volume, the authors: use new techniques to measure and analyse household inequality and poverty in South Africa; analyse the nature and functioning of vulnerability in the labour market; explore the links between labour market participation and household poverty and inequality; investigate current social and labour market policies; examine the implications of current anti-poverty policies and strategies. An exciting aspect of this ground-breaking work is the proposals for the development of new and effective strategies and policies to fight poverty in South Africa.
