    Returns to Education in South Africa: Evidence from the Machibisa Township
    (2003-05) Fryer, David; Vencatachellum, Desire
    We develop a model where blacks in the private sector earn no returns to education if there are relatively too few educated blacks. Using a sample of black females in the late apartheid Kwa Zulu to control for labour market specific effects, we find that more than a fifth of labour market participants are self-employed. There are no returns to primary education and positive returns for the first two years of secondary education.
