- ItemOpen Access'Two Million Net New Jobs': A Reconsideration of the Rise in Employment in South Africa, 1995 - 2003(2005-08) Casale, Daniela; Muller, Colette; Posel, DorritIn this paper we investigate labour market trends in South Africa between October 1995 and March 2003. In particular, we evaluate the South African governments claim that over this period, the economy created two million net new jobs. Using the same household survey data as that used to generate official employment estimates, we also find an almost two million net increase in employment.
- ItemOpen AccessUnemployment, Education and Skills Constraints in Post-Apartheid South Africa(2007-03) Dias, Rosa; Posel, DorritThis paper investigates the relationship between education and unemployment in post-apartheid South Africa, and probes the argument that employment growth has been inhibited particularly by skills constraints. We use probit regression analysis to show that higher education protected against unemployment in both 1995 and 2003, and that overall, the relative benefits to tertiary education rose over the period.
- ItemOpen AccessWhat has been happening to Internal Labour Migration in South Africa, 1993 - 1999?(2003-04) Posel, Dorrit; Casale, DanielaThis paper attempts to redress the lack of research into temporary labour migration at a national level in South Africa. Using the 1993 Project for Statistics on Living Standards and Development and the 1995, 1997 and 1999 October Household Surveys, we explore three broad areas: the extent of labour migration over the period 1993 to 1999; the characteristics of migrant workers and how these have changed over time; and the economic ties that labour migrants have maintained with their households of origin.
