    Analysing Wage Formation in the South African Labour Markets: The Role of Bargaining Councils
    (2009-01) Bhorat, Haroon; van der Westhuizen, Carlene; Goga, Sumayya
    The role of bargaining councils, the central pillar of collective bargaining in South Africa, in the formation of wages is important in the context of high unemployment rates in South Africa. In this study we find that while institutionalised collective bargaining system covered substantially more formal sector workers in 2005 (30 percent) compared to 1995 (15 percent), this still meant that less than a third of the formally employed were covered by bargaining councils.

    The Gender Wage Gap in the Post-apartheid South African Labour Market
    (2012-07) Bhorat, Haroon; Goga, Sumayya
    We estimate the gender wage gap for Africans in post-apartheid South Africa over the 2001 to 2007 period. Separate male and female earnings equations yields no significant decline in the conditional wage gap, regardless of whether we correct for selection into the labour force and employment or not.

    Institutional Wage Effects: Revisiting Union and Bargaining Council Wage Premia in South Africa
    (2011-12) Bhorat, Haroon; Goga, Sumayya; van der Westhuizen, Carlene
    The literature on the union wage gap in South Africa is extensive, spanning a range of datasets and methodologies. There is however little consensus on the appropriate method to correct for the endogeneity of union membership or the size of the union wage gap. Furthermore, there are very few studies on the bargaining council wage premium in South Africa due to lack of data on coverage of employees under these agreements.

    Welfare Shifts in the Post-Apartheid South Africa: A Comprehensive Measurement of Changes
    (2007-10) Bhorat, Haroon; van der Westhuizen, Carlene; Goga, Sumayya
    The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive measure of shifts in welfare in post-apartheid South Africa by examining changes in both income and non-income welfare between 1993 and 2005. Research considering the changes in non-income welfare in the post-apartheid South Africa has found significant increases in the levels of non-income welfare, driven to a large extend by the increased delivery of basic services by government since 1994.

    Women in South African Labour Market, 1995 - 2005
    (2007-02) van der Westhuizen, Carlene; Goga, Sumayya; Oosthuizen, Morne
    The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the changes in the status of women in the South African labour market between 1995 and 2005. The report finds that the feminisation of the South African labour force between 1995 and 2005 has been driven specifically by greater numbers of African women entering the labour force.
